Let Me Explain

Why do you want 

To get back with your ex? 

Is it just because  

You miss the sex? 

 

Nope... 

Because if I don’t 

I’ll lose all hope. 

 

Aren’t you afraid 

He’ll hurt you again 

And kill that hope 

You have within? 

 

Nope... 

I’d rather feel love 

Than be a misanthrope. 

 

Don’t you feel you’re reaching 

For love in the past 

And if you reconcile now, 

It may not even last? 

 

Not at all... 

I’ve done my soul searching 

And I want the long haul. 

 

What if he isn’t ready 

And you’re wasting your time? 

 

Then I’m taking my chances... 

Who says that’s a crime? 

 

But what if he leaves you 

While your life is in hell? 

 

Now it’s you who is reaching... 

You must not know him well. 

 

He’s my light when it’s dark 

My candle in a cave 

He stands in as my courage 

When I’m not feeling brave. 

My shoulder to lean on 

When times get rough 

Always there to revive me 

When I think I’ve had enough... 

 

Is that the only reason? 

Because he’s a good friend? 

He can just be that 

And still there, thick & thin... 

 

You don’t seem to get it... 

It’s not just where we’ve been 

Our love is eternal... 

It was never supposed to end.
