FULL CIRCLE

She still sits there, under the Afransi sun mourning a lover lost

He still visits his San Francisco clubs dancing away a lover lost

She isn’t an elephant but she lives like one

Never forgetting

He doesn’t have amnesia but he lives like he does

His mother has never seen him sad, much less over a girl

She is always moping she’s got everyone wondering whether she knows how to smile

Just because he isn’t blue doesn’t make him selfish

And just because she can cry torrents doesn’t make her selfless

It takes two we’ve heard

Soon everyone got tired of her jilted love story

And why not? We’ve heard it all before

We’ve lived it all before

Ladies, it’s not a competition whose story is the sorriest

Guys, come on! You won’t sleep at that night club

You’ll get home sometime

And when these two lovers meet again

It’s not a far stretch; the world is round isn’t it?

She will have something new to cry about

Because it's all she's been practicing

And he will have something new to be smug about

It’s not his fault

Guys make terrible gods, so quit giving them burnt offerings

They will never be all you want them to be

And while we are at it, try being all you can be

It’s a cycle

It always goes full circle.
