Perhaps

perhaps we were guilty… 
perhaps we tried too hard… 
perhaps our rocket reached its height 
then it had to part 
who knows the reasons why? 
we could debate it for hours 
wondering when the love went away 
when did our future become a fatality? 
but we could, we could celebrate it 
maybe even have a party 
talk about all the good times 
the feelings we felt 
the places we saw 
and the dreams we dreamt 
the way we laughed 
the way that we found a way to grow 
perhaps… 
perhaps others will be judge and jury 
but then what do strangers know?
