Big Kid

He called me big kid The fire lit in me, he did We met through a mutual friend He was shooting pool, I was avoiding men Beginning to enjoy my single fate Ironically he asked me for a date He was charming, arrogant and fun I was distant not wanting to date anyone "Only if your birthday is June fifth," I said He showed me his license, it was, I ran instead The date was of an ex, who was selfish and hurtful Evasive, secretive, manipulative and deceitful It’s no wonder why I had my guard up with him If he was anything like my ex, getting involved would do me in At first, we were just friends, I insisted He continued to pursue me as I resisted Less time spent together than apart Should have been obvious it was doomed from the start I wore brown, he wore black leather Naturally we were not meant to be forever The story that prevailed with him and me Had me confused about my destiny I learned over time about he and I We were two different souls that did not see eye to eye Time in itself does not mean Lasting true love or the real thing Once again living single is a blessing Learning and growing from another life lesson Where my story goes Only heaven knows
