I found another gem
A beautiful lady
Who has brains
And a gentle soul
Sure,
It’s a slightly troubled soul
It’s been through a lot
She has scars
But she has worked hard to heal herself
And that’s beautiful in it’s own way.
I like her.
I really do.
But,
The other day,
As a different lady lay naked in my arms,
And she asked me,
“Do you feel guilty about this?”
“No,” I say truthfully.
“What about that girl you were telling me about, don’t you like her?”
“Yeah, I do, just—. . .” I looked up at my white ceiling, searching for the right words.
“Just what?” she asked.
“Just not enough. I like her . . . but just not enough.”
She reached over and grabbed me.
“I understand,” she whispered in my ear, before kissing down my neck.
