In the past

"I don,t want to be your friend",a song I found while flicking through my cd,s today.I came across Cyndi Laupers " A night to remember " from back in the year of 89.I remember sitting in my local pub reading the lyrics the day I bought it.A very recent but ex girlfriend came in and joined me at my table,this was a girl I should have held on to but in hindsight we all would change our lives I guess.At the time I didn,t want to be her friend  because I knew I was hurting her and while I still had feelings for her my heart was elsewhere.At the time we were both emotionally in "no mans land" funny but I,m still there.Almost 15 years on we still occasionally bump into each other and as I walk away I wonder as many of us do " What if ".Being friends after being lovers is an emotional minefield, there is nothing left that can surprise but lots that can embarrass.If you have made love to someone then immediately cross them off your xmas card list because you cannot stay friends." I don,t want to be your friend " will always be a favourite of mine and each time I play it I go back in time, seems I live too much in the past,ah well at least I was alive back then.
