Long time, No see

It’s been a while since I saw you,
It’s been a while since we embraced.

It’s been so long since I listened.
  ~
 
I don’t know how to surrender,
I don’t know how to get you back.

I don’t know what I need to do.
  ~
 
It seems my only care is I.
It seems my bridges are all burnt.

It seems like there’s no going back.
  ~
 
But we can change the future,
We can rewrite the past,
We can play the same tune,

And we can rhyme, at last.
