Mar 2014
I was too happy day after day
I was too happy for it to stay that way-
I was too content to stay by her side
Used to thank God every night
But somewhere in the back of my mind
There was some doubt about that girl of mine
But even as I try all that I can
I can't remember what gave it away about Wendy Ann.
I was locked within the love we shared
So grateful of the prison there
But it was joy itself which gave away to
uncertainty
Which was destined to be the end of Wendy plus
me.
I was going in the right direction
I was floating on her affection
My first taste of love's perfection
Was only an after-taste of rejection.
