NEVER IS ALMOST LONG ENOUGH

NEVER IS ALMOST LONG ENOUGH

From that initial remark until all forgiveness is done
With all possible interpretations of it under the sun
And there’s never any victory that either side won
Just a bitter taste that will not ever subside or fade
Stone slabs, from which a wall has now been made
And a mountain of rubble, that’s irretrievable stuff

For some it’s a moment, but for others it is forever
And it is about handling emotions, not being clever
As there is always that one last connection to sever
There is not even a heated exchange one may miss
Contact lost, and all that’s left is a background hiss
So, I must reckon that never is almost long enough
