Our Last Dawn

I remember the pain
Of when you left
You had a smile on your face
While I struggled to appear strong

I cried every night
All week long
Trying not to let you notice

Then one day
I came out of my room
And found you sleeping in the living room

I grabbed the small stool
Sat down
And asked if there was any way you might
Change your mind

You asked if I regretted it
I said: Of course I regret it!

But you remained adamant

Gradually, I began to realize
More clearly that you thought
I needed to regret something
I hadn't done

You asked if I regretted it
I said: Of course I regret it!

Whereas I was actually regretting
All the mistakes I really had made

Whereas I was actually regretting
All the mistakes I really had made
