This is it,
my heart dropped
like a rock

she took me off her friends list
hasn't returned my texts
and in the end,

that might be for the best
no longer facebook friends
it's good to have space

privacy
this new cyber world
and social networking faux pas

too much info shared
to big of an audience
for feelings to be spared

embarrassment
lack of privacy
for matters of the heart

things should be as they used to be
face to face
voice to voice

in the dark for the moment
and its pretty stark

if I've lost her forever
if I've lost her forever

I
I
don't know

but, I'm tired of being lonely
this limbo can't last

and if she's not ready
if she's not ready

she's got to know
the waiting
has got to go

you lose your chance
if another asks me to dance

what do I say?

"You see there's this girl
I haven't seen for months
she asked me out
ahe got ill
and backed out"

canceled
canceled
canceled

time after time

She said she doesn't want to date
but
but

she's mad?
she's jealous?

Friday was so happy
caressing the sky
only to have
the high

go poof
goodbye

canceled
canceled
canceled

time after time

so if you see her
tell her I love her
and I'm

sitting here
drinking wine
with faith and hope

and a heart

that can't tell time...

Always good to have a positive attitude towards the other during rough times.

Always make yourself the good person if the other is truly not shinning.
