One Night Stand

There is someone sleeping

On your side of the bed

But he is not you

He can never be

He doesn't even know me

He is a stranger by my side

He is just here for the night

And when morning comes

He will disappear

The scent of his body

Still lingers in my hair

That's all I have of him

The rest of him disappears

I don't rest on his shoulder

Like we used to do

I don't get lost in his embrace

Because he needs his space

He doesn't look at me

While I am asleep

Because he wants his sleep....

He doesn't kiss me goodbye

Because he is not obligated to

What was I thinking?

What did I expect?

He was my lover for a night

I get nothing more nothing less

And this feeling of being empty

That comes with the territory

I should have known better

But what was I supposed to do?

You left me lonely

You left me confused

You left me hungry for love

I could'nt starve myself anymore

I needed to be touched,

I needed to be held,

I needed to be loved to feel my heart beat again

This yearning, I couldn't ignore anymore

But you never cared about how I feel

You never thought how I would survive

When you said you didn't love me anymore

When you said your final goodbye

My heart mourns your loss

My body aches to be loved

But I don't want you back

Because I can't love you anymore

Love comes with responsibility

Love is not lust

Love comes with patience

Love cannot be rushed

But we live in a hasty world

And everyone is in a hurry

Everyone has their own baggage

That they are eager to bury

I think Love is heartbroken

Because everyone is lonely

This world lacks passion

We are all drowning

In a puddle of depth

We only know fast love

Coz the real thing

Its just too much work

So I make the best with what I have

That's how I get by

That's how I survive

I know you will judge me

And call me cruel names

But atleast I am honest

I don't believe in games

So let's not talk about virtue

Because you don't know how I feel

Coz you are not in my shoes

You will never be me...
