Day by Day
day by day
i should have left
so much sooner
but i did not want –
to be like everybody else –
by staying
i was only only –
validating your behaviour
i should have left
so much sooner
it may have shown you –
that what you did –
was unacceptable
but i go on, we go on
day by day
James Garratt – November 2006
