A Single Woman's Wish

Here I am, now where are you?
I did what I had to do to find you.

Thought of you the other day,
remembered some of the funny stuff we liked to say.

Wondered where have you been all these years.
I spent many months holding back tears.

A past that just couldn't last...(sigh)

You see after we talked,
and you had walked,
there was this fellow who came along.
In a dream you told me, "That's Mr. Wrong."

But I went on and married the dude,
turned out that he was just plain rude--
often in a bad mood.

Another one of those deceptive cheaters,
with dreams of driving an expensive two seater.

Always turning his head,
wishing for the next one he'll bed.

But life now appears to be much better,
you still holding on to my childhood love letters?

I'm still here, but where are you?
Probably tied to someone trying to stay true.

When you're done and ready to sit in my warm sun,
let's plan for the future, but this time don't run.

Life is so simple when your single,
always ready to get around and mingle--
wishing for that one who makes you tingle.

But then your eyes become wide awake,
realize some people can be so fake--
often in your face to see what they can take.

It feels good when you still have that "in love" feeling,
it feels good when you know your heart is healing.

So true love you are welcome back into my life,
you were the one that caused no strife.
