Under the Moonlight - Part Two

Now that you knew what had been going on,
All the lies, as I made love to you every night on the phone,
All the promises, of how much love we would make.
But you were here now, and all we had was tension.

Tension that was so strong, I didn’t want to make the first move.
It was your call, because the truth is, I wasn’t man enough.
I wasn’t man enough to realise that you had made a mistake,
A mistake that would cost us so much.

Bitterness, resentment, hatred, was what you were feeling,
Those were the feelings that were bleeding through your heart,
But most of all, the one feeling that outweighed everything else,
That made you cold inside, deep within, was loneliness.

I didn’t see it. How could I? I was still filled with the rage of argument,
And for days I treated you worse than the crack-heads at the back of Kennedy’s Liquor,
Like I didn't know you. No joy, love, or relief, just loneliness.
A heartbreaking comparison to when you first arrived to my little island.

But you had brought back these emotions to the forefront of my mind and heart,
The emotions of hurt, despair, and pain that I had worked so hard to suppress.

I was going to show you how much pain I had endured,
How much pain I had felt that moment when you told me,
Your infidelity, your callous disregard for the sanctity of our new-born relationship,
You let my love build for you, and so too did yours,

But you concealed your mistake until it was too late.
Too late for me to say I will love you and leave you.
I couldn't leave you now, not after all the walks in the park,
The conversations 'till four in the morning, my love was too strong,

And it made me weak. And even though you had done this,
I wouldn't let my relationship fail. I had to find a way to release,
And release I did, with anyone I fancied.
I destroyed our relationship, to save my sanity.

But you were determined to fight back for me,
And as I lay alone in my room, reminiscing, the cool evening air blew calmly in,
As if we hadn’t fought that day, You came in wearing only a towel,
I knew what was on your mind.....
