JUST A MYSTERY YOU WERE

JUST A MYSTERY YOU WERE
2/24/2014
 
Grieving the mystery
of what could have been
a lovely possibility.
But life goes on.
And hands release each other's hands
Until we both wake up alone.

We never learned each other's ways
Though somehow or other you knew mine better
than you should have,
Now you're gone.
(But then again you were never here.)

Just a mystery you were,
Just a hope for something more
That was all.

And life goes on the way it does
That's the best thing about life.

And love is different every time.

And I'm
Tired of wasting a perfectly good heart
and mind
on you.

Life goes on
The way it does
And you can’t leave me now because
 you were always gone.

And I knew that all along
Sometimes I just enjoy pretending that I'm wrong.
