MY HALF LIFE

           
   

     Boy, meeting you that day
         was such a blast.
     I laughed, I stared, I glowed.
         I felt so good.
         I felt so special,
             valued, understood.
     "Could this be it?"
         I thought and
             "Can it last?"
     We met again.
         You dropped the bomb on me.
             You're spoken for.
                 My luck! 
                 Just like the rest.
         As if you could be free.
             I should have guessed.
         "At-first-sight love"
             comes with no guarantee.
     So torn in two,
         at odds,
             I did my best to hide,
             to lessen love and act at ease.
     Just to be near you,
         how I sought to please you.
     Over time
         I've felt a kind of rest.
     And so we're friends.
         Just friends.
             I live my lie,
     'Cause if the theory's true,
         damned thing can't die.
