Why'd I Stick Around

  	       Reflecting on many 
                   affairs of the heart
                I could always tell 
                   right from the start

                if they were not meant to be
                   The timing, always off a bit
                      sense of humor simply uncomfy
                on trifles, we'd bitterly disagree… 

                 Why’d I stick around
                    burying each relationship in the ground 
                      ‘Cos I just couldn’t say ‘No’ 
                  Fool that I was ~ couldn’t let Love's illusion go

Awwn Thats such an honest and touching poem, and we tend to stick around, hoping things would change… perhaps that is why we stay. Pleasure reading this. Sending you light always
