Less than a month ago
We were laughing and kissing
And holding each other until the day's end.
Oh how cruel time and karma and life and time
Can be.

You really had to go, huh?
I mean, it wasn't your fault of course.
You didn't have a choice. And summer time?
oh, well airfare is way too much
especially with that new job
paying twice as much as before,
being the underlying reason for you leaving.

Yes, and flying back to see me,
Well that would just be too exhausting.
Don't worry,
I get it.

You aren't the first to explain to me
The troubles of life
And how Karma holds you in her grasp
day-in and day-out.

Life is a *****, isn't it?
Just cruel.
Tearing you away
From everything you love;
refusing to let you go back.

Just remember,
you aren't the only one hurting.
I have a heart too.
go figure?

Being your first love,
I know how it is.
This isn't the first hurt for me, however
so just keep in mind...

it hurts more the second time around.
and the third.
and the time after the third.
It keeps building until life is more than just a *****.

Have you ever met the devil?
I have.
His real name is Life, not Lucifer.
The scribes misspelled it, sorry to disappoint you.

I'm not a hateful person,
I'm really not.
You just hurt.
A lot.

I think I'm done here.
