Both Sides of the Love Coin, Part One: Forgettable Little Things
When we first met,
I knew then I was a goner,
And I thought you felt
The same way
Even though
We were only eight.
We used to play our childish games
But as the years rolled by.
We forgot about them
As if they were forgettable little things.
However, you forgot me also
as the years rolled by.
I never—
Never
Never—
Have forgotten about you
Or the Freedom
That you gave me unnoticed.
I watch you walk by my window—
Hand in hand—
With your husband.
Every time
That I see you
I wish
I was your husband.
I am just one of your many little forgettable things.
I wish I could forget about you also,
But I can't do it
Because I would have
To throw my Heart away also.
Maybe, one day
You can remember
What you lost
When you finally
Walked away
From what we had
Without the Guilt.
If you can,
I'll be waiting
With Open Arms.
