When Can I See You Again?

Why did you have to go

And tell everyone about us?

I thought what we had was special

I wanted the world to know

That you're mine and I'm yours.

Not in this way! Do you think

Just because we flirted around

That I would fly into your arms?

Then you leave me no choice

I don't want to be with you anymore

Let's stop the charade.

Go on then. Tell everyone about

Our deep, dark, dirty little secret

And we'll see who gets the last laugh.

***

Now, you're gone and I have nothing

I shouldn't have said what I said

I didn't mean it, just so angry

I had always loved you and now

My heart misses you badly

My mind thinks of you fondly

I don't know what to do anymore

I can't sleep, can't eat, can't do anything

Where are you? Where have you gone?

To the place where I found peace

In our dreams, in our solitude

I'm sorry to have left you

But I knew we were never meant

For each other and I found

Something better and I hope

That you would find it too

And we could be together again.
