The Affair
People end affairs everyday
So why would it be hard to end this one?
So what if I decided to put both feet in and never looked back?
So what if I came up onto my tiptoes and kissed you with my eyes closed?
So what if I lingered five seconds too long after every embrace?
Does it really matter that I allowed you to occupy ALL the space in my heart leaving no room for anyone else?
Does it matter that I spoke the words I love you,
words that I've never even said to my own mother and father?
People end affairs everyday
So why would it be hard to end this one?
So what if my mind was consumed of thoughts about you every second of the day?
So what if there's an ache in my heart when I wake up in the morning and you're not lying next to me but rather in your bed at home next to your woman
And that heartache hurts more than the bullet that entered my neck when I was shot in high school?
So what if that every time that I sat in that yellow armchair in my living room I'm reminded of the the naughty things you did to me
And that this reminder is more painful than the time that it took six people in that dental office to hold me down to pull out my tooth without any anesthesia?
So what if I invited you into my home, my sacred space, and introduced you to my son and that the three of us sat at the dinner table and broke bread together?
People end affairs everyday
So why would it be hard to end this one?
So what if I honored your requests of giving up all my other lovers so that I could belong to you and only you?
Was it really that big of a deal when you asked me to surrender my body, mind, and spirit so that you could have me all to yourself?
So what if I agreed to do so willingly
So what?
Does any of that really matter?
It just shouldn't be that hard to end this affair.
...So why can't I do it?
