The One That Got Away

I caught you
hook, line and sinker.

 

You were mine
from the moment I dangled
the bait of my love
across your path.

 

I was fishing for sport
though you were hoping
I wouldn’t cut you loose.

 

There will always be
plenty of other fish in the sea,
but you’ll always be
the one that got away.
