And the Next

Something about the way he shook his head
That made me think
About what I'd said
And how he'd feel

The next day
And the next.

Before long,
Years would disappear
No emails, calls or texts
To prove our love had been here

Oh how we build up our castles
Just to watch them fall
The next day
And the next.

So shortly after
We resurrect the dead
for the next chapter.

Breathing life into dry bones,
Trying to find some peace of mind
For our choices,
The ones we'll analyze
The next night
And the day after.
