So I'm OVER him
But I still see HIM around...
My World never came to an End
After All

Does he See me?
Sure
But Both souls have moved on
and Over eachother

At first I looked for him everywhere I went. I bumped into him at a bar with his new wife. She was so well kept that I felt like a waif...
Orphaned and ready to Steal away.

We smiled and made small talk. Then it happened more often...in a park at an Easter Egg hunt, at the annual Polar Bear swim on New Year's Day, at Summerfest, At Italian Fest, at Street festivals and Church festivals...and everyonce in a while I go out to lunch in the summer with a girlfriend or two and see him at his restaurant. He inherited it from his grandmother, turning his Engineering degree worthless. It is quite a posh place, where his wife feels quite comfortable I am sure...Highlife.

I guess his memory just sticks with me at times...ignoring the cruel way he left. Such an emotional rescue for a girl who needed to be saved....such an act of Throwing me Off of a Bridge. In the long run, I can clearly see, that we would have never really made it last. He lives on Lake Drive in a mansion of a home....I'm just a girl with simple tastes....no HIGHLIFE...unless it's a product of Miller Brewing!

I'd never give up my memories....but I have given Up "AUSTRALIA"...
He is Yesterday
I have Tomorrow

Mental Note: I guess if he offered it, I would reach out for a really Big Hug.

"Waiting for the trains that just never come
Beginning to believe in
the disappearing nature of the people we have been
We have begun to change into the worst kind of people
So unkind
Oh apologies, no apologies, this apology
Doesn't describe the way it feels to feel for you.

Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I find myself slowly disappearing too
Just the way you do
I thought if I told you
You might want to help me to remain with you

I just wanna stay for a little while
I wanna stay for a little while"
