Once, and then it ends,

Once, and never again,

We had our times,

Enjoyed them, too,

We laughed and cried,

Just me and you,

But things grew different

As we grew apart,

And now this puzzle

Doesn't fit all the parts,

This thread that wove us together

Winds down to nothing,

And all that's left

Is to pull us apart,

Every book has it climax,

Every chapter its end,

Once, and then it ends,

Once, and never again.
