She thought her absence would make his heart grow fonder
While she was gone instead it grew stronger and stronger
Perhaps a sign he didn't need her any longer
He thought back to when they first met
Under the bleachers trying not to get wet
Her hair became so frizzy boy she was upset
He laughed at her gave her a kiss
Thought to himself what could be better than this
Within the storm he found his bliss
Years passed she gained more power
He felt like a male Rapunzel, locked in a tower
What was once sweet had now become sour
He didn't realize her love was a trap
Her absence awoke him from his nap
No longer a puppy on his master's lap
Absence gave him strength to walk away
Tired of the games she liked to play
So he left her in yesterday
Life without her is more than okay
Fortunately my buddy did not fall back
into her trap. He never did get his
money back. I guess that was the
price of freedom.
