With the Steam

My love for you will last
Despite the horrible past
When you two are done
My love remains second to none

You push me away
My love does not sway
You slam the door in my face
But I see you for your true grace

Don't say you don't care
It just isn't fair
Let your feelings in
And let it begin

Please excuse those first three stanzas
That was my other half talking
He still believes that there's a chance
And he just keeps right on walking

He is a fool for saying those things
He rambles on from time to time
But you have to understand where he's coming from
He wants to live life in the prime

But for that to happen I would need you
And I know that you will never want to
That's the painful, heartbreaking fact
The love of my life is not coming back

Time to accept reality for what it is
Even if that means giving up my only dream
My precious love is gone
She evaporated with the steam
