One Excuse Leads To Another

What do you mean you see lies in my eyes? Stop it now hon...Can't stand it when you cry You do NOT know me! I swear I would never... (What can I do? Can't hide this forever) She asked me to dance, I was just being kind Got crazy and drunk, lost track of the time She said she would drive 'cause she didn't drink Whose car? Don't remember; ours, I think Kiss her? No way! (At least not on the face) Where? Well I guess we went back to her place I swear to god hon, I'm telling the truth! First time!...Her name? I-uh, think it was Ruth... Can you ever forgive me? Please have a heart Can't forget? Okay, I guess that's a start... (DAMN IT, you're a fool! What the HELL did you do? Shoulda' denied the whole thing; she doesn't trust you! What about the others? Can't get any dumber! Gotta' THINK...Oh god; did I give her my number?) ***Loosely based on the divorce of two very good friends of mine... Susan's contest

You had me scared Tim, I wondered what you were up to and was relieved at the last lines. It's an old story but the hurt is always new. Great reading these insightful lines! Love, Elizabeth
