She'll Never Love You Like I Do I saw you just the other night; two bodies outlined in the light. You held her near you, tight and close, there by our old house on the coast. As I watched you from afar - each kiss, each move - opened a scar each touch, each laugh - a skip in time that took me back when you were mine. I was helpless but to stare while her hands ran through your hair. I longed to touch your skin, your face; wishing I could just erase every moment, every day, since you left and went away. You once were mine and I was yours; now you’re not, for you are hers. I heard you found another love - someone that you were so proud of; so I had to come and see. Remember when that once was me? Friends say I have to let you go and I will, but this I know; no matter how she treats her man - she can’t love you like I can I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S |

no matter how she treats her man - she can’t love you like I can How sad that... all too often... that really doesn't matter. Beautiful work, dear lady! |
