In a break-up someone always gets hurt.
What would happen if the one that caused the break-up wanted to go back?
Thank-you for seeing me, I know it was hard to do,
I know you must hate me, my just leaving like that, I was cruel to you.
I'll start by saying that I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause you pain,
Baby, you look so good, why did I leave? I must have been insane.
What to do with my hands?, I want to touch you so,
If I took your hands in mine, would you shrug me off and go?
I know I blew the chance, to have you for all time,
I never knew what I really had, when you were mine.
What to do with my hands?, I want to caress your face,
Does your heart hold any love for me, is there still a trace?
Oh, I just noticed your hand, you are wearing a wedding ring,
Oh, so you were married, last Spring.
Finding out that you are married, is a painful blow,
Now I know what to do with my hand, shake yours and just go.

I like how you captured the uncertainty and regret of the one who wanted to 'go back', unsure of what to do with their hands. Could truly see that as you described it. So nicely done, as always ;) ((Hugs and LOve)) ~yourDreamyGal
