They say...
Time heals all wounds.
I don't think its true.
'Cause I'm still hurting
over ever loving you.
On my arm there's a girl
who says I fill her needs.
She don't know...
She's just trying to fill your shoes.

I give her all the love
that my flesh can give.
And full attention is paid
to every sigh thats made.
But I'm just passing time
that moves too slowly anyway.
She don't know...
She keeps it warm where you laid.

And lots of girls have walked beside me
since you walked away.
They never make their way
through the shadows left by you.
Time don't seem to make no difference
in what you put them through.
She's not you...
But I guess she'll have to do.

She's not you...
I don't tremble at her fingertips.
I don't see stars exploding in her eyes.
But, every now and then...
Theres a bit if Hell she puts me through...
She's not you...
But I guess she'll have to do.

I knew such a man...
and the moment the phone rang,
and her voice hit his ear...

well.

I hope they are happy today.

So true when we put one on a pedestal and measure all others by the one... a deep hurt flows out of your pen, sir, but you make it worth reading through tears.

Ahh, how I can relate to this. Well written, something I'm sure many can relate too.

So sorry to hear this - but are you sure that you have seen who the second she really is?  Are you not missing something more precious and good than magic?  Perhaps your yardstick is hitting you back.  May I suggest that you look at the second she through a different window, especially when she is not looking.  Perhaps you will find a very special something . . . perhaps . . .

Sorry to hear that, Black Sun.  May you find somebody truly worthy of you, and you too, Uriah.
