Ex-wife

by Jay   Aug 30, 2004


My best friend isn't dead
And we aren't speaking because of bad words said
There is no remorse no regrets and there is no hate
Time I guess has just taken it's course and we have fallen into the hands of fate
We used to be so close now everyday I wonder if she is doing fine
It's weird she is driving the car that used to be mine
She pays my cell phone bill keeps track of all that I owe
I know she cannot eat eggs and with her tea she takes two sweet-n-low
She knows I like my soda with no ice and I get nauseous with certain fragrances
And when we do speak she still finishes my sentences
There is so much history so much we've done
Three years ago I thought our life's had just begun
Now I am here thousands of miles away
When she calls it's hard to know just what to say
I ask her about her new boyfriend and cover all the basics hiding the fact that sometimes I want to cry
Because after that awkward silence I know it's time to say good-bye
She is still in my dreams and sometimes I think I hear her calling my name at the store
My ex-wife my ex-best friend whatever it is it sure is no more
I don't feel we've broken our promises I don't feel she's let me down
I just miss having my best friend around
