The clock ticks away the seconds and they melt into days
The snow slowly subsides beneath the sunshine’s rays
It trickles down the sidewalks, into city drains
Revealing death beneath the place, for months, the ice has lain
And slowly, all too slowly, as it swirls around my feet
I lose my hope for your return. I feel my heart’s defeat
At first you were so fresh and pure, a dusting on my soul
You whispered of a future that made my life feel whole
But though I’m in your bloodstream, she’s still within your brain
Your empty shell lies in her arms while I run through your veins
It isn’t quite enough right now, I have to let you go 
I loosen my grip on your heart, away you melt, like snow
I’m not sure how I’ll make it through a day without your voice
But given what you’ve put me through, I have no other choice
I’ll learn to breathe without your love, but still I’ll see your eyes
In every dream, in every wish, it’s you I fantasize
So in our story I’ll wish that this be nothing but a chapter
A rough but worthy detour in our happy ever after.
