Many Partings
Many Partings: Navigating Love's Crossroads and Lingering Longings
Lyrics
Never thought you would say this
Never anticipated you expressing these words
Our cup overflowed
Our happiness was abundant
But here we are standing
Nevertheless, we find ourselves here
At the crossroads
Standing at a crucial point of decision
The party has ended
The celebration has concluded
We point different ways
We are choosing different paths
With mouths full of curses
We communicate with anger
But longing to stay
Yet, we yearn to linger
And now I'm uprooted
Now, I feel displaced
ready for the pyre
Prepared for a symbolic burning
This house has been looted
This dwelling has been ransacked
& put to the fire
And subjected to flames
You say, maybe later
You suggest a delay
But my heart, says maybe never
But my emotions indicate a possible eternity
You say, let's keep hoping
You propose continued optimism
I say, let's keep sinking
I suggest embracing the descent
I thought we would marry
I envisioned our union in marriage
I saw our first home
I pictured our initial residence
But you broke the floodgates
However, you unleashed a torrent of emotions
And away it all flowed
And everything was washed away
maybe to someone
Possibly towards someone else
or some other place
Or to a different location
maybe to something
Possibly towards something else
or some other face
Or towards a different face
