\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Starting Over<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know you\u2019re sorry for the whole thing now.<\/p>\n

You want to make it up to me somehow.<\/p>\n

But, I\u2019ve moved on to greener pastures.<\/p>\n

I wish I could have gotten away faster.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I seem to be floating, searching everywhere.<\/p>\n

For a love that won\u2019t rip out my hair.<\/p>\n

The last adventure didn\u2019t end well.<\/p>\n

How it happened,—- I won\u2019t tell.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You want to come back once again.<\/p>\n

Start all over but, I can\u2019t pretend.<\/p>\n

That nothing happened, when it did.<\/p>\n

Though a mistake, who can we kid.<\/p>\n

The results destroyed all trust.<\/p>\n

There is no way to restore \u2018us\u2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve moved on to better things.<\/p>\n

I opened up to a life that swings.<\/p>\n

No guilt involved because it\u2019s all new.<\/p>\n

There is no more me and you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hope to find one I can trust.<\/p>\n

Make up for the both of us.<\/p>\n

Have a life of love & devotion.<\/p>\n

Free from all the commotion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You want to come back once again.<\/p>\n

Start all over but, I can\u2019t pretend.<\/p>\n

That nothing happened, when it did.<\/p>\n

Though a mistake, who can we kid.<\/p>\n

The results destroyed all trust.<\/p>\n

There is no way to restore \u2018us\u2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Time passes and nothing has changed.<\/p>\n

The incident that \u2018scared\u2019 cannot be explained.<\/p>\n

Yet, the hurt has mostly gone away.<\/p>\n

This time I feel like I want you to stay.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The \u2018swinging\u2019 life didn\u2019t work out so well.<\/p>\n

I was happier before we went to hell.<\/p>\n

Maybe we can start over again.<\/p>\n

Maybe, this time, we will win.——————R W. Johnson—–(2014)<\/p>\n
