There are Tears

There are tears, 

For we know what we had and we know what we've lost;

For we were afraid of something we don't even know;

For we were too scared to take that step;

For we chose to do things differently.

There are tears,

Even after we've already chosen to look beyond the horizon;

Even after the sun has risen again;

Even after a hand has been extended;

Even after you chose to love again.

There are tears,

For the loss of a forever friend;

For the demise of a good man;

For the inevitable;

For the broken heart.

There are tears,

In spite of all the efforts;

In spite of starting over;

In spite of the promise to change;

In spite of you, in spite of me.

There are tears,

Because we opted to be cowards;

Because we chose to play the game;

Because we never learned our lessons;

Because we refused to try, one last time.
