There is no doubt, lovers come, lovers go.
As spring flowers fade, to the winters snow.
One walks away, without a backward glance.
The other is left, in a lovers trance.

The magic is over, at least for one.
The thrill is gone and so is the fun.
Then there's the other, still under the spell,
still clinging to memories, in the past they dwell.

One is oblivious, to the other ones pain.
And one bears a loss, in this lovers game.
One lover is gone, to a distant shore.
The other one cries, behind a closed door.

Just for a time, while they were involved.
Love was no mystery, it had finally been solved.
Two different people, one strong, one weak.
Two kinds of lovers, different lives they seek.

Nothing accomplished,  just pleasure for a time.
Their satisfaction,  like a taste of sweet wine.
The ecstasy shared, a fantasy come true.
One walks away,  never hearing ' I love you '.

They may have been lovers, but one didn't care.
And one's left alone with many questions to bear.
None of the answers will ever be revealed.
Bitterness creeps in, and a heart tries to heal.

This is a story as old as time.
Two people with two different minds.
One of them knew, that it couldn't last.
While the other one tries to over come the past.



If you can't make it so,
you need to let it go!

same thing, different day.... yep, happens all the time... and as paul simon says ...

"little by little
bit by bit
little bit by little bit
now you got it that's it
what're you thinking
things'll go sour?
check it's temperature every hour
nervous when you own it
nervous when it's gone
what do you think has been going on
for so long?

Nature gives us shapeless shapes
clouds and waves and flame
but human expectation
is that love remains the same
and when it doesn't
we point our fingers
and blame blame blame...

you're the one
you broke my heart
you made me cry!"

*sigh*.... just thought i'd share some of my favorite lyrics because they follow so closely with what you're saying in this piece....

this is quite well written and holds human truth about how love comes and goes and how it always seems to be one clinging when the other lets go... it's almost like a seesaw... later, the one who let go, might change their mind and want to go back to how it was, but by then, the one who was clinging is no longer interested and the love has changed... mutated... the spark is gone...

god, i hate it when that happens....

anyway, all this to say thanks for the read and please excuse my rambling... people around here know i do this from time to time... nice to meet you and i'll look for more of your work... you seem to have a lot of insight into the human condition......

actually, kitty, the song lyrics are from the NEW album by the same name... that's the title song... "You're The One".... it just came out a few months ago and i highly recommend it if you like to listen to the genius of music, lyrics, and wisdom.....

and you're quite welcome... i'll be happy to ramble on your posts any day... especially if they are like this one with so much substance and reality and honesty.......

.... and as far as love is concerned? DAMMIT!!! they ALL broke my heart!!! LOL.... and it was all THEIR fault!!!! i did EVERYTHING right EVERY time... ROFL.... so? be well... thanks for the read and take my advice.... stick with one forever until you get so sick of him, you can't wait 'til he walks out the door.... that's what most people try to do... hehe

(i crack myself up sometimes... )
