When it comes to you and I,
By the rules we did not abide.
Love or life, we had to decide
I still remember the twinkle in your eye.

So together we took the world by storm,
Aided by our refusal to conform.
Yes it was cold but you kept me warm,
That was until the day we found ourselves torn.

Our hearts bled out on the floor,
Their ruthless souls were cold to the core.
Our love found a way to close that door,
But I accidentally opened it once more.

You locked it tight on your end,
Leaving my heart unable to mend.
My thumb forever wavering over "send,"
No matter what you wouldn't bend.

Today was the day I finally let you go.
I'd have enough tears and sorrow.
So when they asked me if I loved you I said no,
And it felt good to say goodbye instead of hello.
