A Lesson of Love


There was my old friend And then there was you You were very sweet And she was too It was you I fell for though And the other friend agreed What made me happy Was what I did need So I went with you And she let me go Always smiling But she didn’t let me know She had loved me from day one but had let me get stolen Hoping for a chance As her eyes were red and swollen You and I went pretty well At least for a year And I never lost that friend She made sure to stay near Because when things went downhill And you wouldn’t even try She was right there hugging me And allowing me to cry You’d fallen out of love Or so you had said And you moved on and left me Hoping maybe I was dead But a month or two passed And you began to realize That maybe I was worth something something in your eyes So the day you came back Asking for us to repair I simply laughed at the door Because my new love was right there Her face you recognized And your eyes sparked with hate But that first night you said no Was the night of our first date And She held me closer She was with me through it all And because of her I’m able to stand tall So never forget Dear reader online To have a good friend Is perfectly fine Two’s even better I will agree But when they love you You’ll need to see You should know them well Because when push comes to shove It’s the one who’s been there That deserves your love
