The Lover After Me

Here I go again I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today

It's been seven months and counting

You've moved on

I still feel exactly the same

It's just that everywhere I go all the buildings know your name

Like photographs and memories of love

Steel and granite reminders

The city calls your name and I can't move on

Ever since you've been gone

The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name

To your love

To your lover now

To your love The lover after me

Am I all alone in the universe?

There's no love on these streets

I have given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway

So this is my new freedom

It's funny I don't remember being chained

But nothing seems to make sense anymore

Without you I'm always twenty minutes late

And as time goes by so slowly

The nights are cold and lonely

I shouldn't be holding on

But I'm still holding on for you

A new life

she called me to tell me she was pregnant..

and i was actually over the moon..

we talked all in excitment

then i felt a tear rolling down my eye..

was it happiness what i felt for her

or was it the oppposite of

knowing what i could never have..

however, it hurt so very deep,

yet it's one truth i can never run away..
