Last Night
R. Kromm

Last night we did alot of talking, alot of not talking too
Smiling to ourselves, 
We laughed sometimes like we always do.

We don't see each other often, but our connection has survived
Mirrors of eachother -- 
Brother and sister in a different life.

Sharing everything and nothing
Telling all not holding back
The one thing I can't tell you is I loved you
Because I know that you didn't love me back.

Last night we were telling stories and most of mine were me and you
Foolish as I've been,
You teased me some, like you always do.

When it got late you told me more about you and him
How he changed your life, 
How much happier you have been.

Sharing everything and nothing
Telling all not holding back
How was I to tell you that I love you
When I knew you didn't love me back?

In my mind we've always been a pair of mismatched stars
In our own silent universe
Lighting up the worlds for each other.

Last night I did a lot of thinking, alot of not thinking too
Swearing at the wall.  
I cried sometimes, like I always do

But it don't make no difference, 'cause I'm not anything but wrong
What would I say now,
After I've waited far too long?

We've shared everything and nothing.
I wouldn't take a minute back
What could matter less than that I loved you
When I know that you didn't love me back?
