A Little Longer

I had to be sure that our final words
Were definite and not premature
But now that we're done, I cannot bear
To hear your voice no more
No bride and groom in my darkened room
I wake up alone and struggle to rise
My stomach's in knots, my eyelids are sore
And loneliness remains
I heard us say goodbye
And maybe I'm having regrets
I thought we'd last
A little longer than we did
There's pieces of you lying around
A discarded shoe, your favorite towel
And all I can do is gather them up
And put them away
I heard us say goodbye
And maybe I'm having regrets
I thought we'd last
A little longer than we did
A little longer than we did
