Still In My Head
Love's a malady without a cure - John Dryden
STILL IN MY HEAD
I tried; I really did,
To get you out of my head.
Told myself it wasn’t the end of the world.
Said I could live without you;
There were plenty more fish in the sea;
And all those other cliches
People use to give comfort.
Perhaps you were right, I thought,
Maybe you weren’t the girl for me.
But you were. I knew you were
“Just forget me,” you said as you walked away.
“You have your whole life ahead of you.”
And that’s what worries me.
My whole life without you.
I tried, I really did.
But love’s a malady without a cure
