once, twice, thrice.

you know when i think the cheating starts?
it's when it gets emotional
not physical.

when the third party gets you where it matters
they pick at that little sore spot you got there on your heart
when it's not so much about who's hot and who's not
it's tough to stay true when that happens

it's then that it starts to get real messy
when they get inside your head, your heart
they don't even need to be in your pants.

everyone's had a situation like that.
it's how they handle it that makes all the difference
you can give in, and break your lover's heart
you can suck it in and just forget that person ever existed
should have, could have, would have.

it's tough making decisions like those.
even tougher when it was right in the palm of your head and you didn't take it because you knew your conscience would kill you for it and yet there's so much of you that wanted to because there wasn't going to be another opportunity like this again.

people come and go.
sometimes they return.
