Only At The End

It was only at the end of me and you
that I noticed you set my coffee cup out
that you noticed my eyes changed to blue
that I realized what love was really about.

It was only at the end of you and I
that I couldn't separate love and sex
that you realized that I could cry
that everything in my life was too complex.

It was only at the end of you and me
that I held on so tightly to the dream
that I tried to get back what used to be
that it hurt so bad, I couldn't even scream.

It was only at the end of it all
I'd taken it for granted, I realized then
how much I felt alone and small
wanting nothing else but to have you again.

This hindsight thing is kind of funny
how it waits too long to kick in
but here it is now, in twenty-twenty
only at the end.
