Nothing of you existed
before that cherished first hello
repeated every time
now I think of you
gradually parting
everyday in code
this may be it!
we all know where this leads
people get ready, there's a train
commedia dell'arte au revoir
years pass still it comes in
anyway who can resist saying finito
all those yesterdays ago
we knew between smiles
the intimacy between us
though each unique
this game's but theatre
three acts some costume changes
attention please to entrances and exits
a final stand
one last speech
make it last
somehow for now we are eternal
hello farewell bang it's quick
for some no chance to mark it
then again and after all
we come we play sing songs spill that wine
cry fart laugh wake maybe the wiser
draw out this dance
suffer perhaps
mingle in the lounge
what's the rush
it's ok yo drag those feet
looks like free jazz los tangos
walking and... falling
shuffle's a lifelong art
lay down come go false alarms
perhaps practice makes perfect
when there's time
bonjour mon cheri
it's been a long good bye
