Still We Carry On

We live our lives like it's a book

wishing never to end

Yet we know somethime

we must reach the final page

Still we carry on

just pretending

Pretending there will never be an ending

An ending that will never again

give us a chance

a chance to say I love you

a chance to say goodbye

If only we could do it all over again

because days of a life that seemed

Seemed so unimportant

seems to matter now

Now that

Far away

fading lights leave us behind

Now it's all another fading memory

out of focus

Though only the outline remains

Still we carry on

Pretending there will never be

never be an ending

A friend had died. I knew that the only thing I could do was carry on.
