it just is what it is
another mistake
judgment deferred
in a long line
stretching out across time
and down the road
where there’s no going back
it just is what it is
too late to undo what's been done
or said
or felt
and I was willing
to discover what we could be
this thing between us
like an unpolished gem which needs refinement
now already tarnished
and the sparkle has faded
it just is what it is
you stepped back
or did I?
doesn't really matter
it's over before it even began
and maybe it’s better
no heartbreak on the horizon
no tears to wash away all memory of you
no joy in remembrance
and no losing myself in you
to you
it just is what it is
love
that’s not what this is
might have been
were we not star crossed lovers
but you are set in stone
and I was born to fly
it just is what it is
love ebbs softly and retreats unscathed
and I wash my hands and walk away
you are no more to me than a pleasant day
enjoyed, even savored, in the moment
but gone with no regrets or longing
it just is what it is
