After the Heartbreak

And there I stood 

As I watched the last leaf fall 

As I watched him walk away 

Not one glance backwards did he take 

He walked as if he had no worries in the world 

And I stood there 

Relishing in the cold 

The loneliness 

The emptiness 

All of a sudden I realized things would change 

I would walk these streets with my hand empty 

With a frown on my face, rather than a smile 

With a cold exterior, rather than a carefree expression 

And I’d blast heartbreak songs in my headphones 

I’d gag and frown like a grinch every time I’d see a couple 

….and I’d cry, when I finally step out of the fog 

Feeling the wind in my hair and the sun kiss my eyes 

I’d feel set free from an endless curse 

And I won’t just stand there 

I’d run I’d skip and I’d swim 

Being the free little girl I was before I met him
