Epilogue

Don't look, little one
Of course you won't listen
Bleak, it's what about and
Blink, they'll vanish again
It's not a polaroid photograph of the sweetest dream you'd ever had
I am not your long lost friend
Time to go, my love

Don't you dare fall again
I will not falter
One day you will call my name

So it finally came a-knocking on your door
Why did you answer it
Why did you let it in
It was the grocery list on Monday
And where we lived by the end of the week
I should have noticed
But what could I have done
And you would wander out in the middle of the night
What were you looking for
Time for bed, my love

Don't you dare fall again
I will not falter
One day you will call my name
This red brick wall
It's not unbreakable
Please do not falter
One day...

Do you remember our late nights out
When you would fall asleep beneath the fireworks
And I would lay you down on the damp grass
And take pictures to show you when you woke

Do you remember when we first met
I bumped into you and you knocked hard into me
We starting shouting - what a laugh when we reminisced
We used to reminisce

Do you remember when I got down on my knees
And asked you the question
With your answer I could have jumped in the sea
Now even my name you can't remember
Time to sleep, my love
