"There goes my baby" (The Drifters)

I'm scared that I made the biggest mistake of my life last night.

Floyd and I called it 100% quits. That means we're officially no longer friends, companions, lovers, or anything else now or ever again. We're cut off entirely and it's quite overwhelming.

I am unbearably sad, but mainly I feel calm. Perhaps, that tells me that we made the right decision. Maybe not. I just can't believe that seven years of building a life with Floyd has come to such a bitter, unforeseen end.

I wish him well and hope that everything will be just fine…eventually.

There have always been at least two songs that I think about everytime Floyd and I called it quits. Each time we broke up, the first song rang true and now, perhaps, the second one does as well. Who's know what any of this means or how I really feel. Yet, Gladys and Carole, if you would…

It's sad to think, we're not gonna make it
And it's gotten to the point where we just can fake it
For some un-Godly reason we just won't let it die
I guess neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say good bye

I keep on wondering
What I'm gonna do with out you
And I guess you must be wondering that same thing too
So we go on, go on together living a lie
Because neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say good bye

Every time I find the nerve
Every time I find the nerve to say I'm leaving'
Oh, memories, those old memories get in my way
Oh, Lord knows it's only me, only knows it's only me
That I'm deceiving
When it comes to say good bye
That's a simple word that I just cannot say

There can be no way
There can be no way
This can have a happy ending
So we just go on
Hurting and pretending

And convincing ourselves to give it just one more try
Because neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say

Neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say

Farewell my love, goodbye

(Gladys Knight & The Pips)

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you

But it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

It's too late, baby
It's too late, now darling
It's too late

(Carole King)
