I never meant to let it die,
I just don’t care about you anymore.
I never meant to say goodbye,
But I just couldn’t take it anymore.

“When did it fade” you ask.
Does it even really matter now?
“Can it be saved?” you beg.
But baby I let it die somehow.

It’s not fair when you say that I didn’t try,
I really never meant to let it die.
But if you’re really gonna leave,
I guess this is our last goodbye...

&quot;I have a need of silence and of stars; <br /> Too much is said too loudly; I am dazed. <br /> The silken sound of whirled infinity <br /> Is lost in voices shouting to be heard.&quot; - William Alexander Percy (Home)
