Before & After

Chase
Willow you’re my life, my lover, my bestfriend
Where you go I shall follow
and possess a love that never ends

I know I have a reputation
that can be quite strange
But with you I feel
that I could really change

I’m still young and restless
and I have a lot to learn
But you by my side
is something I will always yearn 

With my wealth we’ll be fine
lots of places we can go
Without me, Willow, you’d be broke
both in money and in mind
you won’t have anything to show

Just promise me Willow
that you won’t run astray
You’ll stay with me forever
we shall always be this way

Willow
I can’t believe he loves me
it’s me he really wants
He doesn’t see the flaws
or the struggles that I have
He brings out a side in me
I never thought to be true
The fact that I’m desired
whisks my thoughts away
His promises I will hold
so close to my tender heart
I shall love him endlessly
without worry or regret
He will keep me going
it’s only him I need
For without him
I’d be nothing
Just boring
old
me


Chase
I adore your sense of humor
and you always seem to smile
But you seem to be controlling
I’m wondering if our relationship is worth while

The attention that I need
comes from you no more
Willow, you’re a burden on my back
always seeming like a chore

You’re no longer my number one
but I haven’t told you yet
I know you’d break to pieces
For a first love you’ll never forget

I need some excitement
a breath of fresh air
This new girl makes me flutter
I’m sorry I don’t care…

Willow
He seems so far away
and it’s starting to take a toll
I’m questioning myself constantly
since I saw straight through his lie
What did I do so wrong
that made him run away
Without him my heart
seems to shed a tear
An empty chamber
I need his love
I need his affection
Please don’t make it true
My soul longs
for it to be
just
Me and you

5 Years Later…

Chase
Looking back I see
the huge mistake I made
By letting go of you
oh what a price I paid

You were all I could have dreamt of
I lost one of a kind
I will never forgive myself
for being so blind

I wish we could go back
to the way things were before
But I know that you’ve moved on
and I hope to see you soar

 

Willow
Looking back I see
nothing but the past
I’m not the girl anymore
who needs to be reminded of her worth
I am strong and brave and confident
and I am no longer tossed around
Those years have made me better
It is truly me I’ve found

Willow longs for attention and affection but all Chase wants is a reputation. Find out if this relationship will turn out for better or worse...
