On the flip side…

romance

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

Just let them go…

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

Anchored avenues

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

Velvety violets

Sweet velvety violets
Crumpled under the frenzy
And for their lively performance
They should have won an Emmy

Absent but near

I spent the day with you
Not in person but in mind
And in every single thought
It was you my heart did find
