More #LettersToLostLovers
I. Last Trip
Freeze time
Rewind
Pause the reel
I need to
Let go
So I can heal
But first this
Last trip
Down memory lane
II. What You Did
You picked my favorite flowers
From that field that took my breath
Then you took all the love I had
There is nothing left
III. Now I Have to Rise
I believed your every promise
I saw them reflected in your eyes
I didn’t know that sincerity
Was just one disguise
I wrapped myself inside your love
Suffocated in your lies
I whisper inspiration
Still, I rise, I rise, I rise
I love and, yes, despise you
It should come as no surprise
I believed every word you uttered
When I looked into your eyes
I have all this love for you
But what I’m giving is goodbye.
IV. Swimming Lessons
I wish I could miss
Your touch
Or your kiss
Or your voice
Or your eyes
But I don’t have a choice
I’m drowning in lies
I’ll be a stronger swimmer this time.
V. Love the Next One
Be a better man
For the next woman who loves you
Give her flowers picked by hand
Along with honesty
Give her unbroken promises
And the story of your soul
Send her to bed with a smile
And wake grateful that she’s there beside you
And love her
The way you could never love me.
