Separate Lives
Please, stop, and look me in the eyes.
You are all flustered, I realize
But I am not willing to hear your cries
Until you settle down and look me in the eyes.
I know this came to you as a big surprise
But the situation here didn’t just vaporize
It didn’t drop down upon us from the heavenly skies
You knew I wasn’t satisfied; there were no lies.
Now that I’m leaving, you won’t hear the whys
Instead you would rather just criticize
It must be MY fault is what you surmise
Because, after all, you are such a good prize.
It doesn’t take a genius to realize
That you and I shouldn’t visualize
A long future together to materialize
The love we share is a convenient disguise.
So, please, stop and look me in the eyes
I want to be friends after these good-byes
There is no need to over dramatize
Its just time we moved on with separate lives.
