Those Feelings

Matthew Herbert
You're the best idea I ever had
Never had, never had
Now we're strangers on each other's photographs.
Used to write your name there in the dark
Inside my heart, in my heart
Now my head can't even spell.
This farewell.
And all of those feelings
We're used to revealing
Pull away and they just disappear.
And though we both mean it
(I know I don't seem it)
You have the end I had been searching for.
Thought the chapters followed in that book
Never read the lines between
Learnt the jacket quotes all off by heart
What a start, what a start
But not narration for that scene.
That ending.
And all of those feelings
We're used to revealing
Pull away and they just disappear.
And though we both mean it
(I know I don't seem it)
You had the end I had been searching for.
