If All I Did

If all I did, was make you feel wanted Then why do I feel as if I am being haunted Day after day, night after night I was there for you within your sight Then our lives start to look after themselves You live your liberty whilst I stay on the shelf Then my life changes and freedom comes my way Where were you last night is all I hear you say Jealousy kicks in with an anger that follows The hidden you I find so hard to swallow Vindictive is your attitude that beggars belief Your not there in my peripheral, now that's a relief Me, well I'm just me and grudges I do not bare If all I did, was to make you feel wanted, I now don't care

I know there are many of those kinds around, I have met a few. Good write though, and yes, it is better not to hold grudges. Hope you are well, James. It's been a while since I last read you. Best wishes, my friend! Caroline.

James, I really like this. Especially since you told us you are single. I can see it has affected your writing! In a good way. Luv, Andrea
