Old true friend of ours was talking on the phone

She said you found someone

And I thought of all the bad luck,

How I lost me and you lost you

What are these voices outside loves open door

Make us throw of our contentment

And beg for something more?

But I miss you sometimes

All the things I thought I knew, I m learning again

But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
