We Were So Close Together

We were so close in yesternights long gone...
Remember when we'd sat through twilight's rise
While sharing smiles and sighs 'till come of sun
With laughter mingling to the starry skies?
Remember when our moments seemed comprised,
With naive thoughts that none of it would end?
The bond we found was strong... It's no surprise.
We were so close together then.

But as we changed and times went by and on,
Our eyes grew distant and our thoughts disguised.
Our times together now are less begun
By our desire to share our smiles and sighs.
Since when did we not care in our goodbyes?
Or feel so numb when we could still attend?
We then inquire with trusting tearful eyes
Are we still close together then?

Oh where did it go wrong? What wrong was done?
What blame? What fault? There's none we can surmise...
We did not seek this end; we wanted none.
But still it seems the fruitful friendship dies.
One thing is true, in spite what all implies,
We care... we love... as if today was then.
We'd see each other dear in our eyes
...At times it seems we're close again.

If this is how it all must come to end;
A break of bonds, of which we did not bend,
Then wish us hard and think us fond again
When we were close together then...
