Like - The ant-love - 4/9/07

Jun 03, 2008

Love is patient, Love is kind
So why is it that i'm antsy and irritable
This must not be love
This is a sign
Let it go...Move on with your lives

Don't hold on to that security blanket
He's no good for you
And you can't change him
He is who he is; He'll lie and cheat
You're no different than any other girl
Although he'll tell you otherwise

I know he cares, but just not enough
He doesn't even know how to care for himself
You can lead a horse to the stream
But can't make him drink
He's mind fucked the shit out of you
And you've done your fair share too

It's just we're both needy and pretend not to be
The whole fascade has already begun to fade for me
I'm peeling away the layers,
But at the same time slapping more on
Getting nowhere, But I know what to do

Don't answer, Don't take his call
Don't let him into your world
You've already been there and
It drained you for months

For being a sloppy rebound,
He sure made his mark
It's nearly a year now and
You still think about him

You tend to only remember the good
And block out the bad
But this is your wake up call

He lives in a different world than you
He knows it won't work
He has a wondering eye
You thought he couldn't get some
But he does pretty well

You were new meat,
The new girl in town
There was still some mystery in it
But now he knows what you have to offer
You're simple and complex all wrapped into one
More of a challenge than he's willing to deal with

His embraces were nice
But I'm sure shared with others
Priding himself on honesty he really believes
There's only soo much time that can pass
Before it all falls apart

He's true to his friends
But you're just a fuck
So that treatment is reserved for them
They stay quiet and don't get involved
They follow his lead
Although he's bushwacking his way into a corner

But he's getting older and will have to settle
True love may have come and gone
And he's no more the wiser
Maybe he's had a lot more relationships
But sometimes less is more
And in this case I'm sure it is

Keep going forward
And let him stay stagnant
That's his choice
Not yours
Maybe he's in love with you like he said
Or maybe he's afraid of being alone
But just because someoen's in your bed
Doesn't mean you're not alone
I think it's the ladder

He saw something alive in you
And tried to latch on for the ride
But you cut him lose and he didn't like the drag
Ignoring worked, but subconsciously
You made it a point to see him
You threw yourself at him and had him for one more night
But only looked pathetic and vulnerable

So I guess in your case you fell in like
Like can turn to love
But usually not
Take from it what you can and at least
Know you were desirable to someone
However fleeting, but now you know

Like can only turn to love if you take your time
And let it run its course
If not, like is only the anti-love
Like is vulnerable, Like is pathetic
But don't drag your feet
It's not becoming
Get up and hike on
Bushwack your own way to happiness
And quit smoking...that's not becoming either.
