The Moment

The moment after I realized we were headed down a steep and lonesome slope
Should have been the minute you remembered how to try
Should have been the mark I wasn't the only one who cared
Should have been the point you cried too
Should have been the breath that brought everything back

But the moment after I realized we were headed down a dizzying and forsaken slope
Became the pause where we fell
Became the millisecond it all really did change
Became the space that left a whole in this
Became the instant we should have started saying goodbye
