Take Back Goodbye

Some doors, no matter how much you want them to, cannot be reopened. Even if you stand there with teary eyes and a third glass of wine. Sometimes you say ‘goodbye’ and think it's temporary. And then, bang - no one is waiting, no one is texting, no one is checking their phone at 1:14 a.m.

There is no place for tears on the answering machine in this song. Only a dry, clear full stop. A full stop with a small echo of pain - and a great sense of self-worth. Because if one person has left, the other has every right not to let them back in. Even if they once wanted to very much.
