ONE LAST TIME

He is going to walk away that is for sure
His things are packed and at the door
His memories are in the bedroom still
His watch tells him five minutes to kill
He turns around, open his arms just once more
One last time he hopes his memories will cure

She watched him packed heard his excuses
Knew it was not time for tears or abuses
But she felt the embers dying inside
Knew her heart was torn open wide
She saw him turn around and hoped
One last time she wish she could cope

One last time lasted all night and a day
Together they climb the stars in foreplay
Loved the clouds back to their linings of silver
They shook, they slept and loved every shiver
Each knowing that yet again they have lost
Like they have done so many times in the past

One last time they carried his luggage in
Unpacked and threw the wash back in the bin
They never made any promises just agreed
That once more grief their lives have freed
How long neither knows nor do they really care
This last time might be a week, a day, a month or a year
