I Sit Across

I sit across from where we met
The scene plays through my mind
I take a breath and close my eyes
As I see you one more time

I sit across from where we made love
I can't stand to sleep in that bed anymore
I'd toss and turn at night with your memories
And the horrible guilt I bear

I sit across from where I betrayed you
Your trust was shattered like a vase
And as you walked away I remember seeing
The tears streaming down your face

I sit across from your grave
A bouquet of flowers in my hand
I wonder if I ever had your forgiveness
But I don't think I deserve a grain of sand

I sit across from where we met
The scenes plays through my mind
I look at my shot glass, down my drink
Close my eyes to see you one more time
