I saw him today, yes I saw him …. br Had no time to run, or hide br Had to stay and get my groceries br Fumbling and shaking inside br br He talked to me and looked at me br And I felt the panic rise br We smiled and talked of nothing much br As I looked in his eyes br br We stood outside a shop br So close yet so far away br We looked away, then back again br Not knowing what to say br br Instead I laughed, said I was fine br When he did ask of me br I lied and told him some lame line br “Never better actually” br br Then he mentioned his new love br The words cut through me then br Too late, the wound had opened up br And the pain was back again br br Tonight I cried for him br As once I did so much br And longed for him to hold me br And feel his tender touch br br But nothing can be done now br I’ll never have him back br He’s found himself a new love br And that is simply that.
