Hi, friend

Everything looks better from afar 

and baby, 

you are very far away, 

timing is everything 

and we've never been more poor

I'm pacing around

this could-have-been

with my empty pockets

trying to understand 

how could you have arrived on time 

while I was a couple of years late, 

there are answers 

that can only be found 

through living, 

so that's what we'll do, 

we'll go on living, 

knowing the other 

is somewhere 

out there

alive 

carrying this never-opened door 

within 

never knowing 

if we'll ever hear the knock.
