For The First Time
For the first time.
Sad love songs
Didn't make sense anymore.
The melody would twist into my ears,
But my brain did not remember
The familiar guest;
She was rejected at the door.
"No room available at this hotel"!
The past guests,
Loneliness,
Sadness
You know; the regulars,
Were kicked out
By you.
You even brought new friends;
Happiness and love.
But you never told me
That your stay was temporary.
You checked out
Without prior notice;
You didn't even give me a warning!
Your friends left too;
I had to invite the regulars back.
There will always be a spare room
Here just for you;
All you gotta do
Is come back.
Check in again.
But I know you won't.
