LOSING YOU (A Song)

That night on the beach
Didn’t know I was sober
Till I looked in your eyes
I knew it was over.

I wanted to run
Didn’t know what to do
I couldn’t believe it
I was losing you.

That sudden shock I felt
When I realized
Things weren’t the same
You had cheated … you lied.

The slightest hesitation
When we kissed good night
Before turning over
You said, “Not tonight”.

You kept your phone close
I knew that sweet smile
When you got a text
After waiting awhile.

Somebody new…
Oh, the thrill of it all
That anxious response
When you got a call.

On the plane home
You read your book
I knew it was over
I knew that look.

I tried not to cry
I looked away
There was nothing more
Nothing left to say.

I wanted to run
I didn’t know what to do
I couldn’t believe it
I had lost you.
