The Moments We Choose

It's five days 'til Winter
Four since goodbye
The season s changing
You said so must I

There're scraps in the kitchen
Clothes on the floor
A scarf with your perfume
Still hangs from the door

We dreamed again
Of better than we'd known before
And in the end
Came back to me and you

In the shadows between settling
And wanting more
Are the things that we hope for
And the moments we choose

We made coffee at midnight
Made love until dawn
I never held so tight
As when you were gone

Said we both needed space
Not just down the hall
You found an apartment
I helped paint the walls

And dreamed again
Of better than we'd known before
And in the end
Came back to me and you

In the shadows between settling
And wanting more
Are the things that we hope for
And the moments we choose
