Such is life...

You live and you learn

and sometimes might love

you'll never know why

but you can't get enough

 

Your friends just may not see

what you know to be true

but you're sure that you love him

What do you do?

 

Everything's happy

everything's right

there's nowhere you'd rather be

than with him tonight

 

but relationships get stranded

by the stresses of life

and suddenly in your heart

something just isn't right

 

You search for the answer

you want it to be true

he's such a nice guy

he could never stop loving you!

 

But the phone calls don't come

and you start to wonder

"does he really still want me?"

You don't want to find another

 

You see the bright side

but you have a feeling tonight

and in your depths of your soul

something doesn't seem right

 

You greet him with joy

but the favor is not returned

as you enter his place

you've realized quickly that you've just been burned

 

you cry, plead and beg

you're not ready to let go

but sometimes with heartbreak

you just don't run the show

 

you cry about how you'll miss him

and his perfect warm touch

somehow ice cream in a friends' car

never hurt so much

 

You can play all of the games

of "what-ifs" and "who cares"

but when it's all said and done

he just couldn't be there.

 

Your heart may be broken

and your ego bruised

but sometimes in life

you just feel used

 

So, go ahead and cry

but don't waste too many tears

because remember my friend,

you're still young in years

 

You couldn't forget him

even if you try

but the memories will fade

and soon you won't care why

 

Now you're on a new page

you're starting a new chapter

and you know that had you stayed together

there wouldn't be a "happily ever after"

 

Forgiveness is key

to re-writing your story

when you finally let go

you'll be in your glory

 

So keep on writing your story--

you've only just began

be open to love

someone exciting and new is waiting to hold your hand.
