Turning a New Leaf
My heart aches day and night...24/7
I can't sleep at night and how can I
I can't live my life and as each day passes I get weaker and weaker
You've been gone for a year and it still hurts
I just imagine what you're doing right now without me
You've probably forgotten about me by now
Still till this day I have no idea why you left me
You never spoke to me, you just shut me out completely
At that moment I was confused and at the same time I despised you for it
You weren't the same man that I fell in love with a year ago
What happened to you? Us?
Please explain to me what made you push me away
I became depressed, lost, weak and unloved
What you did to me made me not want to trust any other man ever
Whatever you are doing now, I hope that you're happy...
If so...you ruined another's life
I can still feel your warm hands sliding against mine
Your smile that can make a room glow without a doubt
Your voice that sounds so trusting and safe to speak to
I loved that about you
Sometimes...actually all the time I'd cry because of what you did to me
My own friends and family hated you, but who wouldn't
Time has passed and I've forgiven you for what you've done
I turned the other cheek and I'm feeling unstoppable
My phrase, "No one will put me down ever again." - not even you
I'm living my life solo and I'm making a name for myself
People cry every day after being let down in a relationship
I know for a fact that I'll never be crying again for a man because I'm strong
I'm invincible and I can handle the world on my own
With faith and prayer, you can go a long way and God will have someone in store
for you
That man that I once cried for is history and will stay that way
My new man with soon come and will keep me at ease
Strength...
Trust...
Honesty...
That's all a woman needs to keep her warm at night with a man
