How

How?
How?
How

can you stand
to feel what I feel?
When you let in the fullness
and see this end is real?

How?
How?
How

do you go on now that
you’ve lost what you had found?
And take each day now,
as though I was never around?

How?
How?

Don’t you, darling, still remember
in the water then?
As the New Year broke upon us
our souls spoke unsaid
words you’d later come to forget,
words you’ve taken back?
Tell me, darling, how you do it
and still look so sad.

How?
How?

(do you stand yourself
knowing the truth,
that the end of our love
belongs to you?)
