Foolish Heart?
So, it went on, we would break up-Sharyl would be gone from my life for
weeks and months at a time-But seldom from my mind-And never from
my foolish heart. For short periods I could force her from my conscious
thoughts-But ridding her from my mind altogether-Was impossible.
Like a ghost from the past or an addiction you could never overcome-There
Sharyl was-And my foolish heart would fall for her all over again.
All I had to do was hear her voice or see her face and the rush of emotions
would strike me full force-I could sometimes even manage the words “I
don’t love you anymore”-But no one believed them-Least of all me-
Because my foolish heart-I knew I would love this woman forever!
As I look back-I’m never quite sure if her love is a blessing or a curse-
Or weather Sharyl would tell you, I’m a hopeless romantic-Or only a
sentimental fool.
