Love - Chapter 3 - Starting New On My Own

(Praveen Vava)

This is the third chapter (of five) trying to capture the various phases in the love life of a woman. The third chapter describes life when she starts her working life and how being an adult has changed her perceptions of new relationships. And most importantly how the brief end, her first love, fortuitously finds his way back into her life.

Walking in these new shoes 
On this road I've never been on 
Strangers all around and nothing do I know 
Feel alone and cold like buried in snow. 
My new home and friends I want to get to know 
But it feels not warm nor welcoming 
The smiles come dime a dozen 
But underneath it reeks of scheming. 
Can't befriend can't connect 
Can't seem to let in, can't seem to forgive 
Did I change in this short time 
Or did I unlearn how to forget. 
  
          I'm standing in a crowd like a statue all alone 
          Wishing you were here to breathe life into this stone. 
          I'm standing in a crowd like a statue all alone 
          Wishing you were here to breathe life into this stone. 
  
Every night I still sigh 
Before I shut my eyes 
My thoughts still run to you 
Hoping you'd been my bastion old in everything that's new. 
The coffee slurps kept me going 
Pushing this empty frame on 
And then across the street I caught sight of you 
All else blurred and suddenly life was one sweet song. 
I chased you but you'd turned the corner
