MORE THAN MY HEART CAN TAKE
(January 11, 2012)

I’ve long forgotten the tears
That spilled from my eyes like raging rivers
Whenever I thought of days without you
Or reminisced about the days we’d shared
I’ve long moved on from everything you meant to me
From what we were and what we’d been through
When you were present in my life

But now that I find you with another
Now that I find you on one bended knee
Asking her to share your future
And her saying yes with overflowing happiness
As she kisses you with a sweet passion
The tears spill once more like raging rivers
And everything comes flooding back to me like a tsunami

I wish for her to be washed away with the tide
For you to be left standing on one bended knee
Proposing to thin air
Because having her there
Is more than my heart can take
