Simple Moments/And Just Like That

Over-joyed by the simplest of things
A call, a letter, a gesture
He doesn't know what it does to me
The naturalness of his being there
Others fall short when compared

The look in his eyes when he
Sees me on the balcony
They glimmer just like the stars

A walk around the yard
12 o clock at night
A rose for my hand
In the pale moonlight
He didn't stay long because
He wanted me to get some rest
A walk, a rose, and him
Those simple moments I'll never forget

  ******

And just like that I felt the dreaded burn

The painful awful burn that burns deep inside

It burns your heart, yet you feel so cold

You want to hide, but you don't want to be

Alone

I'm just like all the other girls, nothing special

I thought I was...something special

But look at me, I'm forgetful

We never did those things that couples do

It was all a dream, that's nothing new

I gotta stop letting the heart win

It never thinks, it's stupid

But it's true

I always let them in

They don't even ask to come in and have a cup of tea

But it's already made, the table's set

The food's done, ready to eat

I'm such a wasteful person

They don't want to sit with me

They want to fill up on sweets

Get a massage

And leave

I suppose I should get a fence

A security alarm, a moat, and a guard dog

I can't let these walls fall nope, not on my dime

But for you, you already have the key

So maybe one last time
