We Died Today

What happened to the happy days
Adventuring hearts and puppy dog eyes
Why did all the love burn away?
Did we run too fast or walk too slow?
Forever I will regret my negative activities
This is one thing that we will never survive
If the world runs on love, then the fuel is running dry
When it first began I could hear your voice every second
Now it sounds quiet in the distant echo
How I miss those days
We died today
Empty sounds in a quiet room
This is where we used to live
How vacant and lonely it is today
Former posters and love notes tacked on the walls
This residence is vacant and up for sale
I sit in the dark pouring over our letters
“I miss you”, “I love you”, “I want to marry you”
Vane and vile are these phrases to me now
How I miss those days
We died today
