Thinking to myself

“Damn!

I could’ve slept with Donna”

and I probably could have

I used to work with her

and she was living

with this other guy

but then she broke up with him

and she was flirting a lot with me

And this woulda been perfect

I like to catch them

on the rebound

I can have sex a few times

and after they recover

from the past guy

they get bored of me and move on

and I move on, too,

and there’s no hard feelings

and this should have

been one of those situations

but it wasn’t

because I was interested

in another young lady

who ended up breaking my heart

and now I look back

and I’m thinking,

“What the Hell was I thinking?”

It’s hard to blow

a perfect situation

and not be too upset over it

so now I’m stuck here

alone

with thoughts

of a young lady

that I really should have

known a whole lot better
