How Strange
How strange is life
You never fall in love
Because you won’t let yourself
You are always on guard
Can’t be hurt again
You love your kids
And no one else really matters that much
And then
You don’t realise it
Until he’s gone
But you did love
You do love
The timing sucks
Why couldn’t we have met earlier
Why couldn’t we be the same age
Its not right
You’re alone again
He wasn’t for you
Not the way you wanted
He loves you
He says as much
But he’s too young
Or you’re too old
He wants kids- of his own
The one thing you can’t give him
And you’re not enough- alone
To keep him
So let him go
To find another lover
He’ll never love
Like you
But he will have what he wanted
Or will he
She’s pregnant some woman
He hardly knows
But she’s pregnant
Is it his
He doesn’t know
He’s sorry
He holds you and you cry yourself to sleep
He cries , like a baby and….
But what if it’s his
He doesn’t love her
But what if it’s his
He doesn’t know what to do
The baby is born
A beautiful girl
The test is done
It’s his
He cries
What will he do
He goes
He looks after the baby
He keeps ringing you
He loves that baby
He rings from another country
She didn’t stay
She took the baby
She’s gone away
He thought he knew
What he wanted
He wishes time away
He wishes he’d never
Said
He wishes he could go back
In time
We would’ve been great together
We like the same things
We get along so well
We are so compatible
Too bad
Our kids would have been beautiful
My eyes, your smile
Our love of life, the sea
The land, the universe
But ….
It doesn’t work that way
He keeps ringing
He loves you
It never works that way
He rings
He loves you
She’s pregnant again
What?
Before she left
Far out !
What now?
He wants children
Too bad about the mother though
He’s alone there
He wants you to come
You’re alone here
But no… don’t go, wish him well
He’ll find someone else
You are thinking maybe
You’re better off
Alone, really……
without your leitmotif
It never works out
The way you want
The way you dream
When you’re little and you believe that
Wonderful things
Really happen.
