(Two Years Ago)

Two years ago
On this exact day
I asked you to be
The only one for me

Two years ago
On this exact day
You told me you waited
A month for me to ask
The second time

I started the best thing
Two years ago on this day
Seven months later
I had pushed past your limit

One year ago
Somewhere ‘round this day
I asked you if you
Had fun being with me

One year ago
Somewhere ‘round this day
You expressed a wish
To be back here with me

I started the best thing
Two years ago on this day
‘Round a year later
I was tearing what was left
To shreds

As I sit here
On this damned day
I see you’re so gone
So far away from me

Two years ago
Who would have known?
I could lose you so far
I can never get you
To come back

I started the best thing
Two years ago on this day
Now two years later
I have totally destroyed it

I started the best thing
Two years ago on this day
Now two years later
I cannot even reach you

I started the best thing
Two years ago today
Two years later
You’ve built a wall I can’t scale

Two years ago...
Two years later...

Goodbye...
