It’s been a while since you and I;
I do admit it was nice spending a little time;
With you, I missed those beautiful ebony eyes;
And that sensual smile that always drove me wild;
How could I forget that naughty little laugh;
I wish you were part of my future and not just a thing of the past;
I know I could have worked a little harder to make us last;
In my opinion we ended just a little too fast;
I know you have another man who occupies your tender heart;
I’m glad you’re happy even if I’m no longer the leading man and I’m now just another member of the cast;
I never wished you any harm;
Even though you made living without you quite hard;
Unlike you I haven’t found love or made a brand new start at all;
I just couldn’t recover from our fall;
When we started dating I told you this is the last time;
I kept my word I’ve been without love since you last were mine;
I’m glad we’re better friends than we ever were lovers it’s true;
And at times I can’t help but miss me and you;
I miss mostly the times we shared and the things we used to do;
And how I made you laugh constantly without even trying too;
I can’t say if you gave me a chance today;
That I’d take you back, too much has changed;
We both have matured, things just ain’t the same;
Smoke is all that’s left of that lover’s flame;
I do sometimes replay in my mind;
If I did things differently would you still be mine;
But then I know everything happens for a reason, it’s simply called life;
I do though admit, it would have been kind of cool if you were going to be my wife;
Or even the mother of my first child;
I trust God so I ain’t mad;
Things happen, things us mortals won’t understand;
God is the one with the master plan;
I think I found out why He sent you my way;
Ever since you, I’ve become a better man than the man I was in my younger days;
So in that sense I’m even glad about the tears and the heartache;
For if it wasn’t for you, I’d still be that fool and not the man I am today;
So thank you for the little time we had;
And for all the stupid things I did, my bad;
For the friendship we have today I’m glad;
You were the best girl I ever had.
