They were the best of times they were the worst of times but they were never bad. You made me laugh you made me cry but you never made me mad. You showed me Love then inflicted pain but there was never any hate. I discovered my feelings and then came alive I guess it's never too late. You made me soft instead of hard ummm, you did that too. You taught me something of a woman's needs, and life and love, though I did nothing for you. We cast out the bad and brought in the good and lost the sting in the scorpion's tail. You put a sparkle in my eye and gave my life a purpose I knew you wouldn't fail. It must have been tough to let me focus it all on you (because I was crazy once) You are a Real Hero. And at the end, I gave you an out, before I could let you go. You took it, because you weren't sure if I could, but I think I would have - just. And now I'm alone again but with a different guy the one that couldn't live until we made the old one die. When I needed you most, you were mostly there. And I know that if I need you again, you might be there for me. But I know you'll never need me, and I never really knew you at all. I guess I sort of knew all along, but I never wanted to see the truth, until we were done, and I became me. I often wondered why I cried so often, then on the last day I read this: Tears are the wine of Angels... the best to quench...the devil's fires. Thanks to katch7.
Reason for writing:
I got drunk one night and met this girl. She took me away, sobered me up, gave me some lovin, checked me out, beat the shit out of me, scared the hell out of me, got rid of all the crap, educated me, gave me feelings and a life, lifted my chin with one finger, gave me a beautiful smile which sparkled in my eyes, and went. Sometimes I'm not sure if this was just a dream, or if someone spiked my drink, but it was the best experience of my life (I think). Love Always.
