The shorter story

Trying to build it all, back again
I hurt myself it was all in vain
And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
So long, my almost lover
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
Even still, even now
The colder water
The pupil in denial
I have loved you for the last time
