hands stale and knees weak
falling on the floor.. blood dripping
but my heart was still full
and i remembered the way you loved me
even with your hands around my neck
face swollen and eyes like glass
i remembered when we laid in the grass
where you told me you wanted this
forever
but after a while
forever seemed to be taking
forever
then the one thing i dreaded happened
you let me go
so i fell and stared at the ground for an eternity
i gathered all i had left
courage, strength, determination and
love
brought it all into my hands and pushed down
with every ounce of might
and i stood back up
now i\'m in love again
with a man who holds me close and
looks at me with pride
he touches me like a flower
delicate and precious
his kiss is gentle and his
intentions are true
craving him is much better
than it ever was you
- happier without you
