In the quiet of the night, to your lover you say,
"I don't love you", in a gentle and kindly way,
"The relationship is over, we're a couple no more".
"I trust you", he noddingly says, and stares at the door.
No arguement, no fighting, no emotional clue,
He heard me, I know, now what do I do?

As I go off to work, "That was easy", I think.
Coming home, everything is clean, bedroom, kitchen, even the sink.
Hmmmm...I look around and know something's not right,
As he smiles, arms open, to hug me just too tight.
Automatically, I hug back, not thinking, habit is my guide.
A cheery face, dinner made, my words are not forgotten - denied.

For my new love I hold future wishes and dreams,
Yet, my old love won't leave on his own it seems.
This is bad, a game, and I don't want to fight.
I see the con - under one roof, kept happy, always around or in sight,
Making "We" or "Us" plans, still social as "two".
I'm angry, I'm confused, what should I do?

My new love pushes, "Nothing seems to have changed."
"Do I have to wait till HE tells me when all is arranged?"
"I love you", I reiterate, "My feelings will not fade."
But, hours turn to days, days to weeks, have I joined this charade?
I know it's mostly and act until his threat is no more,
But hey, two wanting one, I Like, it's really no big chore.

And I AM being honest, it's a dilema, you see,
I love one, not the other, but confrontation isn't me,
Just go about my business, no matter what others say,
Heck, only a few know, which makes it safe, in an easy way.
If I lose my love, oh well, I'll take the blame.
The worst that can happen, just back to the same old same.
