Anyone But You

Something won't let go of me,

It tugs at my heart til I listen,

But i don't want to hear what

The voice has to say.

It speaks of old times,

When nothing could separate us,

When we told each other everything,

When we had a foundation of trust.

"No one else," it whispers.

"Anyone else," I yell back.

I am burdened by a heavy feeling,

A feeling that the voice is right,

But I won't admit it!

No one else?  Please,

Let me love somebody else!

Your love is long gone,

And mine should be too.

I'd rather love anyone

Other than you.
