When I finally think it's all over and my heart has accepted that it's fate - When I finally admit and concede That I have to close that gate; When I finally learned to sleep at night my face devoid of tears, when I finally look toward to the future and not dwell on past years... . . . You called. Not just in my dreams - your usual place, Not just in my memories - occupying your own personal space, Not just in my head, where I could vanquish you out, But for real - clear - in my ear, leaving no room for doubt. . . . why? To let me know you had memories that sometimes haunt you, too? To share with me that you still cared? (That.... you did not have to do.) To exercise and test your power of control - To see if you could still rock my very soul? To tell me that you, also, are unable to forget - but still try? To find out if the sound of your voice could still make me cry? . . . I think you got your answer. Well, as in days of old - back to square one, but there's one difference this time . . . I know it can be done. I made a startling revelation, That I never believed was true, That although I may not want to.... I can live without you. Seems like you're just now experiencing what I've lived with for years. Now . . . can you understand the reason for my tears? . . . I'm sorry you have to go through this - but Take a tip from an expert, Baby, let's both learn from our mistakes, Your heart might bend a little, But believe me, it will not break. . . . Yes, I still care, too I guess I always will. Poetry is just the evidence of life. |
