071812 -- Once In A While

[memorialrainbow]

I dreamed that I was happy in your arms.
Then I woke up and noticed I was alone.
I started to cry.
I'll get rid of the faded sofa, the two cup set, the too-wide bed.

I didn't love you because I wanted you to love me back.
Even though I knew what was coming,
even though I slept alone...
I still anticipated the song we liked, the movie we saw.
I won't forget.

I called you, and the woman who answered had a nice voice.
The voice that calls your name,
the fingers that stroke my hair,
your clear eyes --
all are far away.

We laughed together, we ran into one another, we believed together.
Now, I'm alone.
I want to meet you one more time. I can't meet you twice.
I get it -- I can't anticipate anymore.

I didn't love you because I wanted you to love me back.
Even though I knew what was coming,
even though I slept alone...
I will no longer anticipate the song we liked, the movie we saw.
I'll forget.
