best of me....
petals, canon 20d
you know when a song comes into your life at the very perfect moment
and its better than a book or a therapy session
or the little white pill that awaits you on your bathroom counter?
well i needed such a song this week and i got one.
"Best of Me" sang by the brilliant Chrisette Michelle:
I saw you again at the parlor,
Crossing the walk with your lady,
I caught your eye from a far off,
I noticed she wore a ring.
I found a smile against my will,
wish it was genuine....
I put away my desire
No more in love with you still,
Look I'm moving on....
Loved you, Lost you
Thought I gave you all the best of me,
We've departed, broken hearted,
I need to be free.
What we had was oh so lovely
I'll swallow my pain
It's my time to find the best of me ...
Can't be too tired to be begging
Can't be too tired to plead,
My mama made me much wiser,
What's mine will be just for me,
I'm trying hard to just focus,
I'm trying hard to sleep,
Promise I'm glad you're happy
When it's my time it will be.
Look I'm moving on.
All my life I've been just so foolish
All these times..
Not realizing the beauty that your eyes once saw in mine.
Loved you, Lost you
Thought I gave you all the best of me,
We've departed, broken hearted,
I need to be free
What we had was oh so lovely
I'll swallow my pain,
It's my time to find the best of me...
