We talk so much about
Who we’ll lose it to or
How it’s going to happen and
We pretend to really care.
But in the end it’s just some
Thing we’ve lost to some
One we’ll lose, too.
He’ll take your trust in men,
She’ll make you see they
Really aren’t so bad after
All. The things we let people do.
Do I wish we had
Not done it that way that
Maybe things should have
Been different?
It’s not like I wanted it
To be all planned out.
And when it happened
With him I couldn’t
Have been any happier could I?
After all, we all lose
People or things or ideals
Or trust. That we can never
Give back again.
So what makes this one thing
So important? So big to give
It up to someone we’ll lose
When we know we’ll lose
It all anyway?
