Haunted

an old Love thats a new Love

I ran into your mother today
Memories of a dark brown crown turned to gray
She said that you moved away
My thoughts strayed like a Columbus discovery
 

Oh the highs...and oh the lows (OHIO)
Calm and troubled I could land now
Feet on the ground found out you had a boyfriend
Pretended to be happy for you
 

You're buying a new house and all...
I recall seeing you a month ago
Sitting on the bus alone
I was haunted by a love that I gave up for naught (seemingly)
 

I ought to be over it, but I can't forget
Fourteen years and you're here
Sweet to the eyes but maybe bitter as beer?
I almost shed tears
 

Feared to say anything so I said notta'
Why bother?
Heard your husband got shot and killed
Left you with two kids still
 

I stopped and pondered... departed yonder
...and not one remark
But everday afterward seemed to be discarded
*I was a mess*
Looked at every bus driving by after
When I couldnt find you on the world wide web
My heart shattered
 

Went to bed every night in tears
Swam through the next day nightmares
You not there...
Skin like carnation milk slim and sweet
You not there...
Looked like it might be you right over there!
You not there...
 

30 days and change...
I ran into your mother today
Memories of a dark brown crown turned to gray
She told me you moved away...
 

Go ahead and haunt me!
I'm stained with your Love forever
If I get married and you ask me back
my marriage is over...
 

I would've taken you back...
toothless
balled headed
ten other kids
Aids infected
homeless
retarded
A killer...
 

Well, maybe not a killer?
But I'm in stupid Love with you!
Never stopped Loving you...
Though I've loved others
I'm that special kind of fool for you
And there's nothing that I can do
