I always thought I'd fall in love with a poet A man who loved me almost as much as he loved words Who composed verses in his head While ******* my ear with his tongue Instead, I fell in love with a fisherman with crackerjack hands and icy morals An Othello, not an Orsino He loves me more than he loves love Because we don't always fall in love with ourselves Thank God.
