There have been others
but not quite like you.
From the first time
I saw you from afar
I knew we had a
connection.
We played a short game
of cat and mouse.
Then one day you called a
truse.
Our energies were
something greater than
you and me...
Synergy.
Attracted like magnets
addicted like a bad habit.
I had to have you
just wanted to call
you my boo.
Late night secrets we shared
wishes of being in each other's
bed.
We were...
Connecting.
Afters hours, days,
and months suddenly
you changed our course.
No warning.
Left me figuring out how to sail
without a paddle.
You came in my life and
just rattled
my whole being.
You up and left
but didn't leave money
on the stand.
I'm confused.
I wish I knew
I wish I saw
you better from a far.
My glasses were never on
so I guess the image I had
of you was mighty fuzzy.
Had me about to change
my life and beliefs.
But I
thank you...
For showing
me how to be wise.
How to stay out of
international waters.
I'll stick to the rivers
and lakes that I'm used to.
Funny thing about Roses;
they're deceitful.
From a far they're beautiful,
colorful and just something
you wanna pick up.
But they don't really smell
that good and you gotta
be careful... you might just get
stuck if you bother to touch.
