Adapting

Can forever end today
Don't think I'll survive
If you, once more, say you love me
With words that aren't alive

They don't dance in your eyes
Or ring inside your voice
Can't feel it when you touch me
It seems there's but one choice

We'll slip into goodbye
Journey different streets
Holding onto memories
Time slowly depletes

For months I'll grip that photograph
We took down by the sea
Love was dancing in those eyes
That drift away from me

I'll lay it in the ocean
Make my peace within
Turn away, no looking back
A new life must begin

Love will come to breathe again
I'll drink it down like wine
Intoxicating every sense
Grateful it is mine
