Second Time Around

I used to be his everything: his hunny, his best friend, his Miss Pretty Lady.
My world revolved around him: his smile, his arms, his touch.
It was all about us: our plans, our happiness, our 'us.'
Him, Me, Together, Forever.

Then something went terribly wrong: the lies, the cheating, the broken hearts.
We tried to forgive: for the hoe, for the athlete, for youth.
It was about me. It was about him. No us. No our.
Him? Me? Together? Never.

Now we're starting over: laughing, dating, conversing.
We listen intently to these new people: his stories, her philosophies, their hearts.
We try to decifer where this is going: games, love, keeps?
Him? Me? Together? Forever?

Somehow, times have changed: a lifetime of growth, an era of honesty, an eternity of
us.
We compliment each other: his sun to my moon, my yin to his yang, my pink to
his green.
It is all about us: our communication, our loyalty, our us.
USTOGETHERFOREVER

For seconds
For keeps
For love
For us.

Wasted Time

I remember first shyly averting his eyes
Afraid to be pulled into the lies
I tried to play the role of a tease
But he glided into my heart with ease
My body fought him for two long years
Then he brought my soul to tears
The effect he had on me seemed unreal
There was nothing left to conceal
I let him explore every part of me
Sending my mind and body into ectasy
His body my temporary fix
All because I fell for his tricks
I'm trying desperately to let go
But my body keeps screaming no
I wish I could get back that wasted time
I guess thats what happens when dealing with slime
