Just Like That
Until that day
My life had been a river following
A safe predestinated course.
Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly
With uncompromising force.
My strongholds broke down all too easily
I remember well
How it did embarrass me
I hung onto his every smile
Marveled at his style
Just like that
He walked into my life
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But, I led him on
Knowing that someday soon he’d be gone
Just like that
As though he only stopped a while for a chat
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
And once again
The rivers flowing slowly
Following it’s safe and uneventful course.
Now the tears have dried it’s become a pleasant break
I recall without remorse
But now and then I wonder where he is
And I will admit
He had something that I miss
I guess he was a rolling stone
The only one I’d known
Just like that
He walked into my life
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But, I led him on
Knowing that someday soon he’d be gone
Just like that
As though he only stopped a while for a chat
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
Just like that
He walked into my life
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that
As though he only stopped for a while for a chat
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
Just like that
