We Part as Strangers

(Jasmine Z Chin)

Two former lovers meet on an empty bench on a busy street for a final goodbye in the rain. They both can no longer find the affection they used to hold for each other, and in bitter disagreement, the bridge between them is burned, leaving them to part as strangers.

Right here on this street
Full of people passing by
We find an empty bench to meet 
To say one last goodbye

We try to be polite 
But we know it’s all in vain
When your mind’s already made up
And my heart is steeped in pain 

I don’t know where or when
I don’t know why or how 
We loved as lovers then
But we part as strangers now

Right here in this rain
Full of silence and reflection
We find the wounding words to say
To burn our last connection 

We try to hold it back
But we know it’s all too late
When the truth has been released 
And love gives way to hate 

I don’t know where or when
I don’t know why or how 
We loved as lovers then
But we part as strangers now

Right now in this moment
We turn our backs on us
No longer in the present
We let go of the past 

I don’t know where or when
I don’t know why or how 
We loved as lovers then
But we part as strangers now
