Based on actual events part 4

She tried to look me in the eye
her words were strangled
as she struggled not to cry

I felt my stomach going cold
i dug my feet into the carpet
trying desperately to hold

she said:
I can't be what you want
she said:
I can't be what you need
I just... I just... I just can't...

I said: but no one's in love like us
no one has felt this way before
no one's in love like us
she said: I don't think love is quiter




enough

and then I went out in the cold
my body numb as i tried
not to lose my hold

I wanted not to hold my tongue
to let bitterness and anger
and resentment have its fun

but the drizzling rain
soaked me clear to the skin
from my chattering teeth
to my shivering limbs

just take things slow

I saw her reading
there at the table next to mine
I tried not to care as she
smiled and asked me for the time
I found it hard to smile

she said:
it's been a while
I nodded my head
It's getting late,
it's best that I go,
she said.
