you never knew

you never knew
i ever knew
or ever tried so hard
to forget those things . . .
that we both loved to do .

i never thought
i'd ever sought 
to hire a minstrel bard
to try to tell me
what awful fate had brought

so here we are 
apart so far
i played my final card
so lets both forget . . .
and never mind the scar

it seems too soon
we shot the moon
losing's always hard
midnight or the morn . . .
or at the bright of noon
