An Excerpt from "Love CHANGES:"

Title: I’m Obsolete
From: "Love CHANGES"

I look at her smile

And realize that I could have tried harder

Could have made things right when I had the chance

Now...all I see is her in his arms

Sweet memories…

As I fight back tears

But I’m supposed to be a man

And men aren't supposed to cry

But I don't give a damn…cause' I’m sad...

And I’m mad

I let her slip away

The girl of my dreams

The one that completes me

Is now part of his destiny

And now I’m obsolete

Out dated...

Replaced...

A part of the past...

Sad

Mad

Dangerously

She moved on...without me...
