Array ( [sid] => 176615 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Poor guy [time] => 2013-07-29 17:51:34 [hometext] => This is an actual experience of mine [bodytext] => I can't look you in the eyes
Which to me is no surprise
While you speak to me so sweet
I stare off into space and think
Maybe this is all too soon
To give my life over to you
But I have to move on sometime
What am I supposed to do?

You take me out on dates a lot
A pleasant sort of change
It would be better
If everywhere we go
I didn't see his face
You want to hold my hand
So you take mine in your grasp
And all I think of is the way
He used to love to do all that

Now we are alone
You wrap your arms around my waste
And this is when I start to feel like i am far too out of place
You come closer and you kiss my lips
This is the final straw
The best I can do is compare you
And he wins without a flaw
I find myself a good excuse
Reasons to get away
Because as nice as you may be
I just can't be with you this way
I can't stand it when you touch me
And that just is not okay

So I had to let him go
And I know I broke his heart
But I couldn't handle feeling like
I had to play a part
So here I am alone again
I wish it wasn't true
But I can't really help it
All that I want anymore is you

And I apologize if I've disappointed you
I know you want me to let go
In fact expect me to
But now you have me stuck for life
This poor guy helped me prove
That whether you love me back or not
Forever I'll love you

I constantly imagine myself feeling this way and watch the same thing happening to my mother since my dad left; she's completely given up on relationships.

You know...maybe it's not my place to say, but...if you think about it this way, in the same way it's almost like loving your family: you love them all to some degree, more others than most, but that doesn't mean when they're gone anyone will replace them — you just learn to love other people eventually who are putting the selves in the same position while forever treasuring what you had before. Now at least you know what NOT to do...or something like that?
