Just Like That

Until that day My life had been a river Following the same, pre-destinated course, Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly With uncompromising force. My strongholds broke down all too easily; I remember well, How it did embarrass me; I hung on to his every smile Marveled at his style Just like that... He walked into my house As smug as a cat He was handsome and smart Walked away with my heart Just like that... He found a temporary home in my flat Telling innocent lies Throwing dust in my eyes But I led him on, Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone Just like that... As though he only stopped awhile for a chat; But my secrets he learned Leaving no stone unturned And once again, the river's flowing slowly, Following its safe and uneventful course. Now the tears have dried, it's become a pleasant break, I recall without remorse. But now and then I wonder where he is And I will admit, he had something that I miss. I guess he was a rolling stone; The only one I've known. Just like that... He walked into my house As smug as a cat He was handsome and smart Walked away with my heart Just like that... He found a temporary home in my flat Telling innocent lies Throwing dust in my eyes But I led him on, Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone Just like that... As though he only stopped awhile for a chat; But my secrets he learned Leaving no stone unturned
