My Lover, Her Man

Lost words lost love,  the big city lights are dim.  Thoughts of another time ..when I had everything and everything made sense.  Hours before the struggle I felt you pull away.  Bold enough to face the consequences of the. Choices we made long after midnight.  Those hours where most lovers sleep, as we once did when love existed.  The sun rose and definitely brought amongst the anger of the heat.  Moving so fast away from each other and still never found the opportunity to cool down.  We know where this is going.  When the bags began to fill with your belongings and phone calls went unreturned at four AM. 

Goodbye,  but maybe not, I'll always want to return even long after your love has faded for me.  We pass around love like confused predators ..unsure who to love,  we begin to sample those unlike what's familiar.  Today I want you..tomorrow I'll realize why hating you became relevant in the first place.  We started this all and let it fall apart right before we had a chance to reach a higher potential.  Look at all we invest in love and look at how much more we lose.  This is when time is your enemy ..where every moment you walk in life reminds you of the only lover you yearn for.  Drying tears for silent cries ..remembering why all those years before I'd never let you go..  because we chose this and because you loved me.  But now you love her.  My lover.. His lover.. Her man.
