During a casual conversation you come to hear
New information on someone you once held so dear

He got everything he dreamed of
Yet still is as unhappy as a lonely dove
For he still does not understand the meaning of love

Remarried with his eyes on the gold
He comes to find she is extremely bold
Should something happen, it’s been written he will be left out in the cold

It was reported on the news
He committed a domestic crime
Instantly you’re very thankful, it wasn’t your time.

Grateful now that the relationship came to an unforeseen end
Filled with enlightenment
You realize you dodged a bullet, yet again.

DL Carroll

to leave on time often means to know when to stop; to know what is enough means to be on the safe side ;)) Cheers, alex

Well said. I think a lot of people can identify with this one.

In any relationship, we are always vulnerable, mentally as well as physically. We lay our souls bare, and are at our weakest. Enjoyed.
