Too Quickly

Forgive and forget
Is that all there is left
Once we were more
But now just regrets

We shared secrets
And laughed all night long
Funny how it ends
But I know what went wrong

I forgot about you
You forgot all about me
Too busy for each other
Now each other's what we need

But time took it away
All the trust we had built
The foundation was weak
We were standing on stilts

We should have known
It takes more than being alike
You have to build on that
It's like riding a bike

But the training wheels
Came off way to fast
Like an inexperienced rider
We just didn't last

I'm sorry we failed
We could always try again
But this time let's do so
With a good foundation

Let's add on to the laughs
The interests and tears
We both need each other
In these frustrating years

Put the training wheels on
And attach the helmet too
It's a bumpy ride
But we'll make it through
