It didn't happen...

The ball has been dropped,

shadows have grown long.

The dreams we made blissfully

in clouds of love and starry eyes

have now ended their possibility.

It will never happen.

---

For we were to be so very brave

and never shed a tear before

this audience of humankind,

even when our yearning hearts

are pierced through and through

and the world falls at our feet

in piles of dust and desperation.

---

Can't you see, my love,

that it didn't happen...

and it was never meant to be?
