Gone But Not Forgotten
I heard this song today, and it strikes a sad note in me. The reason is because I know too many women who feel exactly this way with their lives, and every single one feels as though she can't change it.
It makes me sad because these women deserve much better. I think they may think they don't deserve better, but I know that each one does. Each of these ladies is as amazing as they come, and you couldn't ask for a better person to talk to, or to just joke around and hang out with. They are the type of women that light up a room just by walking through the door. And they have to put up with dumbass guys who don't appreciate what they have.
Disclaimer: I do have certain women in mind with this, and I will not name names so as to protect the innocent. Also, there really is more than one woman I'm speaking of here, including the one I love most.
With all that said, here are the lyrics to the song that has struck a sad note in my heart. This goes to those women, and countless others who have experienced this situation. Bless you all for putting up with the bullshit for as long as you have.
"Gone but Not Forgotten"
Her birthday came and went without a card,
Or a single I love you
On their anniversary she sat all alone
At a table set for two
She tries her best to please him,
But she never hears one single word of praise
She feels just like a stranger,
In a home where love has seen its better days
Well he's taken her for granted
God only knows why she keeps hangin' on
'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten
Than to be forgotten, but not gone
Somehow he can't remember,
When he's late to even take the time to call
And even on the nights he's there
She gets the feeling he's not there at all
She's become a prisoner
In that big old house where sweet love used to be
Well, it's not even over
But Lord she feels just like a memory
Well he's taken her for granted
God only knows why she keeps hangin' on
'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten
Than to be forgotten, but not gone
'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten
Gone, but not forgotten
Than to be forgotten, but not gone
