You Left me For Another Girl
by *MichaelOrtega

I loved to touch your little pearl
The deepness in your song and heart
You left me for another girl
I was the wrong guy for the part

We met in school in Santa Fe
You played guitar and sang
You wore your clothes like in a play
It seemed you had a plan

I fell in love in spite of logic
You seemed to love me too
But really it was biologic
The one you loved was Sue!

Sue was crazy…that I knew…
She belched and loved to twirl
Inevitably you fell in love
And left me for a girl

I look back, now and then, and think of us
And what it might have been
I laugh and think, "What was the fuss?"
You were fat and had bad skin!

So I tell myself it wasn't meant to be
I really didn't want you
But that's a lie I tell myself
Because I cannot face what's true

It's your differences that made me love
You danced to a different drum
It's your spirit I was in awe of
You made me tremble and succumb

1. Even though your heart may be breaking

I have to admit that your lovely poem really made me smile. :)

2. Thanks!

I like to write lightly like lyrics to a song...and my heart broke like 25 years ago...so I can see the humor in it too!

3. We see the humor too.

The following lines are oh so true when it comes to falling in love. Love doesn't always follow logic.

It's your spirit I was in awe of
You made me tremble and succumb
