If someone really loves you
It’s foolish to wish them away
Best to hug them with all your might
And tell them you want them to stay
And if eventually they have to leave
It’s important to make sure they know
Just how much they mean to you
And how much you love them so

If someone refuses to love you
It’s pointless to wish it so
Best to shrug your shoulders
And finally let them go
And if they come back to you
It’s best to set them free
For a heart that refuses to love you
Can never really be

I thought those avenues
Were sound and secure
You had me believing
And damn I was sure
But only a fool believes
In things they can’t actually see
And now I know exactly
What you did to me
Those anchored avenues
Were apparently all for show
The truth came out
And so I let you go
People always ask me
If regrets still exist
But how can a broken heart
Even want to persist
The absence of you
Has only made me stronger
And I’ll never regret
Not wanting you any longer

She hobnobbed
With the very best
Passing the pageantry
Of acceptance test
Now the poor darling
Has been laid to rest
The slanderous dagger
Still embedded in her chest

Frilly frocks
Artsy smocks
Sparkling eyes
Young yet wise
Dazzling smile
Goes for a mile
Gentle yet strong
My favorite song
