Abandoned

Talked about our future like we had a clue, never plan that one day I'd be losing you
Never one, we got the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on
Someone said you had your tattoo removed, saw you downtown singing the blues
It's time to face the music, I'm longer your muse
In another life I would be your girl
We’ll keep all our promises, it’ll be us against the world
And in another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away

Everyone is alone. That is what I have learned, in time.

In the end, nothing changes the truth: Others don’t know, in that dark, what I am thinking in my heart of hearts, and I don’t know the same of him. This is the truth. We are all separate islands.
I am okay with that now. There was a time when I fought against the idea, as I guess everyone does. We want to know everything about our partner, share every last detail. We want to read minds and have our mind read. We want to erase all distance between us, become one person.

But we’re not one person. However close we get, some distance will always remain. Love, I’ve come to realize, lies not only in sharing each other but being at peace with those parts that will never be shared.
