And Yet

Her friends said, "He will break your heart."
But she resisted. "Want a bet?"
They said, and ultimately they were right, And yet, she misses him, and yet...

Her friends said, "There'll be someone else, A better man, so don't you fret."
Time passed, and they were right again,
And yet, she misses him, and yet...

She loathes the way it ended so,
She loathes the time that she had spent, Hoping that he'll come back to her, And yet, she misses him, and yet...

Hundreds of hours slipped away,
As she remembered how they met,
And how they laughed and how they fought, How she still misses him, and yet...

If she could change the way things stand, She said, when we spoke tete-a-tete, She wouldn't, though she misses him, For this is how her life has set.
