Too Far Gone
We were good friends, nothing more
When love snuck up behind us
Appeared from thin air
Caught us unawares
Changed it all forever
But over time the newness faded
Life intervened, attention waned
Minds focused elsewhere
Emotions in disrepair
Love softly stole away
Refrain
Too far gone to still be lovers
Gone too far to just be friends
You and I had a good thing going
Now we’re going, going, too far gone
Life intruded and displaced love
As busy days spawned lonely nights
Cares arose and replaced caring
We sacrificed a happy ending
For living day to day
We made vain attempts to get it back
Did our best to fan the flame
No more tantalizing anticipation
Only rueful resignation
Our love had passed its prime
Hoped that if we could just avoid it
The widening gulf would start to close
We confused misplaced with lost forever
We mistook ‘long gone’ for ‘be back soon’
