It was time to think about what she said
Another day had passed and I started wondering
Did I get what she was saying or was it over my head
I needed to stop talking and start listening
I thought about the cost of not feeing her emotion
I wasn’t being a lover in the things I was saying
She talked about things like loyalty and devotion
And how we shouldn’t let others separate us
What would you call a beach without an ocean?
This time what I saw in your eyes wasn’t lust
You walked away from the things I’d mistaken for love
You said being alone is better than living without trust
Fighting everyday was something you were tired of
Somebody once told me passion isn’t always pleasant
You said whoever said didn't know hurt from love
I always thought I was the gift, God’s present
But when you walked away I was ribbons in the trash
The only gift there ever was, was your heart’s presence
