a bitter sweet love
story
remember the day i borrowed your brand new car and dented
it?
i thought you'd get mad,
but
you didn't.
remember the day i dragged you to the beach even when you said it
was going to rain, and it did?
i thought you'd say, "i told you so," but
you didn't.
remember the day i flirted with all those guys to make
you jealous?
i thought you'd leave, but
you didn't.
remember the day i forgot to tell you the dance was formal,
and you showed up in jeans and a t-shirt?
i thought you'd get mad at me, but
you didn't.
there were a lot of things you didn't do, but you loved me,
put up with me, and protected me all through.
remember the day i waited by the door, waiting for you to return
from iraq?
i thought you'd come home,
but
you didn't.
