Graham*2

Graham*2 Are you a holiday romance? Temporary comfort blanket From the pain of my solitude Or something more long lasting Here to stay? Why are you here right now in my life Another teacher to teach me what? That I can go way back when And have my husband again If I want to Not sure I do you know Think I want something new to grow No more reheated beans Never as good the second time round This I now know So as tempting as that comfort may be I know I wont stay with you Will let you go Along with all the others and continue my quest for the one for the best if I could be less wise less able to see I could maybe fall in love with you If I could be less wise Not see through these eyes I could maybe fall in love with you But the blinkers are off now And I can no longer hide from the view And pretend I don’t see that you Are someone I have loved before Within a new form, different shaped eyes New skin, yet what is within Are places I have visited before That I have no desire to return to However sweetly familiar those places may be It really is time for me to get free Of the past and let it go once and for all The old me is dead A new one reborn And this one doesn’t need one like you A graham mark two Petra Creffield 2004
