Since You've Been Gone

Here's the thing we started off friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Since you've been gone

You dedicated you took the time
Wasn't long till I called you mine
Since you've been gone

And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say

But since you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin on
Thanks to you
Now I get
What I want
Since you've been gone

How can I put it? You put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Since you've been gone

How come I never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
I guess you never felt that way

But since you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin on
Thanks to you
Now I get
I get what I want
Since you've been gone

You had your chance you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again

What I have learnt from all this :

a)If a guy doesn't want you to stay for good but doesn't want you to leave either, run and run fast. Don't look back and don't even think of making up excuses for him. Don't believe his sob stories about broken love and never being able to trust again and all that BULLSHIT. Just run, shut the door, lock it tight and throw away the key.

b) Don't get lost in the moment. Don't let him dazzle you with the material world and candles and romantic songs. Any guy can do that but it takes a real man to stay with you through thick and thin. After all, romancing doesn't last forever but a relationship based on friendship and compatibility goes a long way.

c) I know some people might say that having a boyfriend doesn't make you off limits to other guys since you really are still single until you're married. But really, girls and boys, if you are even thinking about going out with someone else, I think it's time to sit down and have The Talk with your significant other. Either break up and make your move on that other person or decide to go on together and ignore that other person entirely. Believe me, all that lying and cheating isn't worth it. Someone is bound to get hurt and more likely than not, it's gonna be everyone in that little triangle.

d) Perhaps this is the most important lesson of all. After all that crap I pulled, he's still willing to be with me. How much I appreciate that, he will never know. Please know this Asrul, that I love you so much and I promise, anything that happens in the future, it will never ever be anything like this. Just you and me. No one else.

What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger.
