Dinner of 3 With Jealousy

Speechless, so speechless even my script is blank in wake of a promise to uphold What else is there for me to say besides relying on a list of all my best read lines but U Have amnesia I have nothing, only a far away gaze to steal my attention, my focus to the scenery beyond the window Amidst a perfect Friday laid in wait an abstract Saturday now this, a Sunday, I want it to be over For a fleeting moment I found myself jealous found myself having a dinner of 3 with jealousy the reason: a name, a place, a person wrapped into an inadvertent competitor against me Paris...Paris, the romantic capitol of France Paris, the dream destination of every woman who has never laid eyes upon it Paris who's been Esmeralda's confidant her best friend, her affection in my year long absence so how do I stack up against him, I don't know We're in two different leagues though I feel I fall too and far beneath I've heard the name just not the person nor the city still I fear completely of falling in second place of being shunned away, kicked to the curve the man who can be moved Hey, Jealousy a word to you please just leave me be Hey, Jealousy a word to you Goodbye be gone from, me Jealousy
