_____ by Rebecca Strait

I am almost over you
and this is feeling good
thought i'd break down today
and cry the whole night through
but actually not one tear fell
at the blessed memory of you

i thought i'd have to call in sick
and tell them i wouldn't make it
tell them i had cramps or a really bad cold
you know, just fakin' it

but i didn't have to do that at all
i didn't have to ride the subway
feeling as though i'd faint or almost fall
i didn't see death in my outside world
or my soul walking around the corner...

no, instead i saw you walk right past me
without saying a single word
and that was all of the justification
that i could have possibly needed
to know that i was no longer
in love.
