ANOTHER
Ray Finch
Listening to the wind blowing down the street, listening to the pouring rain
Listening to my heart as it beat’s, that’s when I start to feel the pain
I close my eyes tightly shut, to erase the pictures that they took
But seeing you, arms around another man, I don’t know if I ever can
We married young, with much life ahead
Vows and promises, we both said
Me to you and you to me
In front of both our families
So in love on that glorious day
How could we know it would end this way
Listening to the wind blowing down the street, listening to the pouring rain
Listening to my heart as it beat’s, that’s when I start to feel the pain
I close my eyes tightly shut, to erase the pictures that they took
But seeing you, kiss another man, I don’t know if I ever can
I thought our life was comfy and good
You wanted out but I never would
Then I found you had another
A younger, taller, better lover
That really spelt the end for me
Now goodbye for eternity
Listening to the wind blowing down the street, listening to the pouring rain
Listening to my heart as it beat’s, that’s when I start to feel the pain
I close my eyes tightly shut, to erase the pictures that they took
But seeing you, hand in hand with another man, I don’t know if I ever can

life is strange
if we truly loved that person, from our past
wouldn't we naturally want them to be happy
even without us, and yet
one glimpse
of them lost in joy's, comforting
smiles and hands
and our jealousy, grants us
the anger needed
to throttle our happiness, for them
and instead
let our selfishness, define
our thoughts and emotions...
unless, of-course
their past disloyal actions, dictates
we hate them, with every last breath we get
(crazy, how both mindsets
can be simultaneously applicable
to such differing situation/relationship
endings...)
a thought provoking read, thanks for sharing
Thank you
Yes its a fine line between letting go and being happy for them, or developing anger towards them, luckily I don't have anger within me (well at least not yet) lol
Thank you again
