We Said Goodbye

We said goodbye long ago
not knowing it would be for so long
We parted ways, not looking back
Looking back, we were so wrong

Later when you came back
Nothing could be the same
We wrote and called and visited
and played the catch up game

I tried to forgive you every day
But you could never forgive you
You kept me at a distance, and
I kept myself at a distance too

Now you are gone and it's too late
We will never put the past behind
I understand why you did what you did
and in the end it was much more kind

We said goodbye six months ago
Not knowing it would be the last
We hung up, not looking back
and now our chance is past
