A MAN TO ME". It seems so easy. One night here. A weekend there. You start to believe its OK. I have always wondered. But I never asked. Was she worth ALL that we were?
We'd been married for almost eight years. I wanted a family. He did too. He was a good man. A GREAT father. Marriage is a lot of work. It takes two. There was nothing he wouldn't do for me and the kids. I knew how much he loved me. How much he loved US. Over the years, I felt the difference. It wasn't anything in particular. A feeling. I figured all couples go through THIS. I told him my concern. He reassured me that WE were ok. We were best friends. There was nothing we couldn't talk about. Then one night he called and said he was working late. My father had always told me, "you can never question a man whose trying to feed his family". So I didn't. Weeks went by, I started to notice a pattern. It didn't take long for the late nights to turn into long weekends. I felt like a character in my own drama. "Is this really happening"? He was cheating on me. When he admitted to his infidelity, I thought he would try. He didn't. He wanted a divorce. He basically left me for HER. I was devastated but remained strong for my children. We ended our relationship amicably. He gets the kids every other weekend and over the summer. Last weekend, he told me that THEY were no longer together. I could tell he was hurting. He asked if he could take me to dinner. I told him no. He wanted to be friends again. I asked him was he still friends with her? He said they were never really friends. I guess neither were WE. Still Single
"So you're trying to get over your new love affair.
ReplyDeleteI heard it nearly took you away from here.
Believe me when I tell you I know how you feel,
'Cause I've been there myself a time or two.
I remember like it was yesterday;
You kissed our love goodbye and simply walked away.
And although I'm not the kind to say, 'I told you so,'
If there's one thing that I've found it's
What goes around comes around.
It comes around!
It comes around!
Now the world you're living in is a lonely place,
And you just dropped by in search of an old friendly face;
Someone who does not socialize in outer space,
Someone who loved you once upon a time.
But times have changed and things are very different now.
Yet I hold no grudge against you in my heart somehow.
And I hate to see this agony you're going through,
All the evidence is sound that
What goes around it comes back around, my baby!
What goes around comes around!
