Leaving Tonight

Doesn’t matter where you take this
It’s never going where I want it.
So someone has to go
Make it me, coz I am leaving tonight.


We were always meant to say good bye
Isn’t that the first thing you told me that night?
But I want you to know,
I always thought you would be wrong.
So someone has to go now,
Make it me, coz I am leaving tonight.


There is no way I can take this anymore
Close my eyes and pretend it’s alright.
How long will I keep fooling myself?
It’s time we let go
So someone has to go
Make it me, coz I am leaving tonight.


You have places to go
So I want you to know
I love you enough to let you go
Even though my heart says no.
Yeah, I know someone has to go,
Make it me, coz I am leaving tonight.

Keep your friends close but your enemies closer

Keep your friends close but your enemies closer. This old proverb is very true, and not just for the most obvious reason. My boyfriend has, or rather had, this particular ‘friend’ he used to hang out with at one point of time. Somehow, I had a big problem with this ‘friend’. The fact that she was a girl might have had something to do with it and him talking about her and their time together everyday dint seem to help either!! Anyway, this girl never struck me right and soon our arguments started being centred on her. Deciding something had to be done about this situation, I played the dirtiest card in the pack, “either her or me”. Naturally he picked me (he wouldn’t have seen the light of the day otherwise). Now, I wasn’t particularly proud of what I did, but things cooled down and soon we found other things to fight over. I knew he hadn’t stopped talking to her completely but, although a bit annoyed, I just let it be. Like most guys, his new found friend was soon passé once work came into picture. Something I should have realized earlier, knowing how involved he can be in with work. It is to an extent that, sometimes I think he likes working more than spending time with me!! And that is when the realization of how dumb I had been struck me. Had I been patient, he would have grown out of the phase himself. Now not only did I waste that once-in-a-lifetime card over something like this, I also gave him a chance to say “I did that for you”. He rarely says it, but when he does, it sure hurts. If I had just let it be, I would have got what I wanted, come out of this whole thing clean and more than anything, I would still have had my card. Damn it! I have learnt my lesson and have become a lot wiser - Keep your friends close but your enemies closer. Okay now can my friends can move over coz I need a lot of space to accommodate all these people??!
