Just One More Thing...

(These were what spawned the lyrics of a song I wrote later
called "Of Brokenness and Regret: And Everything Worth Living For")

that was just one more thing
that took everything i believed in
and burned it all away.

and as i watched you from across the room,
i felt like i was staring at the deepest part of the ocean.
and i know that the secret of life that we share,
will be ours and ours alone for eternity.
a painful mystery that it is my burden to have solved.
but that night, on the couch,
when noone else was paying any attention,
something died in me in that moment.
something in between my arms and yours,
and something else was born.
