All That Never Happens

She walks alone on the brick lane, <br>the breeze is blowing.<br>A year had changed her forever, <br>just like her gray home. <br><br>He used to live so close here, <br>we`d look for places I can`t remember<br>The world was safe when she knew him, <br>she tried to hold him, hold on forever. <br><br>For all that never happens <br>and all that never will be, <br>a candle burning for the love we seldom keep.<br><br>The earth was raw in her fingers,<br>she overturned it. <br>Considered planting some flowers, <br>they wouldn`t last long, no one to tend them. <br><br>it`s funny how these things go,<br>you were the answer to all the questions. <br>The memories made her weary, <br>she shuddered slowly, she didn`t want to.<br><br>As a distant summer he began to whisper, <br>and threw a smile her way <br>She looked into the glass, <br>liquid surface showing<br>that they were melding, together present past. <br><br>So where can I go from here? <br>The color fading, he didn`t answer<br>She felt him slip from her vision.<br>She tried to hold him, hold on forever. <br>So close forever, in a silent frozen sleep.
