He was never mine but I captured his attention.

For a moment I was the girl back home he would always mention.

I was in no place to be an army wife with loose ends

He went away to korea, we split ways. No thought to remain friends.

I will always wish for him to find better days.

He saw what many men see in me
A shiny fish in the sea

But soon he found that those who try to catch me drown

In an ocean of emotion he fell and sunk like a rock

But I just kept swimming, singing my siren song,

Waiting for someone to come along and
dive into the depths of my obstinance

And pull me up despite my resistance.

To help me shine with opulence.
