Reconciliation

i use to think that charmed
was an expression
until you appeared and
caught my attention
and like everybody else 
i thought chivalry was dead
until i met you and with
my honor i plead
i use to believe 
that love was so true
but in reality it was only
me loving you
and there was a time
that i truely believed
that if i used the right words
that she would never leave
i use to think that words 
were my charm
i found out
and boy, was i wrong
i once believed that praying 
would bring her back
but all that proved was that
true knowledge i lacked
and with my hopeing
i wasted my time
hopeing once again 
she'd be mine
the time has past in which 
i wished for my wife
long has it been that i had 
a new life
some may ask
why i write of her tonight
it's only to tell her that
i found a new and better wife
