Lost Boy

I don't understand why you still wait Paste tense is a time I don't exist I'm on to where I'm going And I'm through with where I've been You need to quit rehashing the past And trying to draw me in With quasi-attempts To bait me in a fight Boy, I've got better ways to spend my nights The things you feel in love with You hold against me now I haven't changed Still somehow you can't see Your derision's got your vision blurry Plus the company you keep Has you wanting apologizes from me I'm not a needy girl This I thought you knew But you keep calling with stupid questions Acting all confused I don't rely on others To ensure my needs are met Love is obviously a gamble And I cover my bets I have no regrets With the course of action I chose My time and attention Is only given to those That don't betray or stray And you made your bed So in it you're going to lay At this point now, all I have to say is thanks Because I've truly been rescued From a life forever filed with days Of being stuck with an incompatible mate You were not really a partner More like someone I had to raise And I guess I should have known How this would all go down Because you weren't a man then Why would you be now?

Ouch did you ever tell it straight. Smart girl to move on. The first time makes the second easier. IT's a good think you were strong enough not to settle for 2nd best. TLee
