Past and Present Life


I was looking for love 
someone to love me for me
I had a couple of boyfriends
but they all seemed to flee

then there was one that I met
but wasn't sure he was the one for me
because he always drank
to the morning hours , as I would see

but anyway we had gotton together
after awhile . we married 5 years
of licking together, but still
wasm't sure, it seemed like a trail

he wasn't a man , a man of his word
because he always like to flirt
and with him still drinking
even flirting still made me hurt

we had two children, moved to a better place
from where we were living, and as we moved
he even brought with us
a girl he was seeing

years later he had another fling
that fling was with a girl who lived with us
I got moved out to anotther home
and thought he be living with me , even after awhile

but withe this woman he had two children's
and with this woman
he had moved in with her
so living  alome , is what I preferred

as I said before , I didn't want another man in my life\
 but someone at work I met, and was attracted to him
so later on we became friends
cause it seemed like he was a very fine gem

over the years my feelings got stronger for him
but for him
I knew my chances were slim

even though it would make me feel happy again
if only he'd feel the same as I do
and let his feelings come out
just once more again, if only I knew

I guess time will tell 
if it's ever meant to be able
so I hope he would be able to see
what his love could ever mean to me

so now I've gone from one man to another
in which it wasn't my plan
but with this one is who I would prefer
because this one is different, a very much more of a man
