The Winner Takes It All

I was hoping Andy would use this song. I decided to write about it.

Dedicated to a past boyfriend.

I don't wanna talk about things were going through.
Nothing more to say. The winner takes it all. That is
way they throw the dice. Do you think of me? I was in
your arms thinking I belonged there. I guess I was wrong.

It is years later. You never married. I did and I am
happy married. I still think of you and I guess we will
never know what went wrong with us. I went to your mother's
funeral and we hugged. I will always be your friend. I know

you know that. You never came back to me. I was always in
between boyfriends but you never tried to get me back. You
kept my high school picture for years? You never loved another.
The winner takes it all. I am a winner and I love my husband.

You met my husband and you finally took my high school
picture out of your wallet. I wish you well. My husband
is my Edward and you are my Jacob like in "Twilight." I
hope you are happy. I will always think of you. Take care.
