"after the love has gone"

we knew it would end

but still kept holding on

we danced the last dance

under the moon and stars

the next day I watched

you walk out the door

the sun on your back

my eyes filled with tears

but I have moved on –

or at least have tried

I suppose you have too –

we both won’t admit defeat

so every night I sit

in my now silent home

with the moon at my 

ear still whispering your name
