Other People

There have been other people in your life

You have had other lovers, so have I

You have talked very sweetly

You have felt very deeply

You have shared many stories

With the ones who came before me

There have been other people in your life

Did you change theirs

The way that you changed mine

And without them, anyhow

Would you be who you are now

And would you even want me in your life

But in the greater scheme of things

Just think of all the "might have beens"

There is no "you", there is no "me"

When set against eternity

And jealousy is just an urge

To rule over the universe

It is Worthless and destructive

And always counter productive

There have been other people in your life

You have had other lovers

So have I

And um, blah, blah, blah
