Another One

Back in the Day

I said I would not date this summer

I said I would play the field

But there he is in my life

Something that seems so unreal

His name is yours

one letter changed

that is not the only difference

yet something seeems the same

he has never hit me, he says he never will

he has never hurt me, he says for he would kill

he said he loved me, after a few weeks

yet what seems more wrong that I said it back

I never told anyone other than you

that I had feelings of love

yet here I am saying it again, to someone with your name

for the first time, I wasn't thinking of you when he pressed his sweet lips to mine

for the first time, I wasn't wishing it was you holding me while we slept with all your might

for the first time, I wasn't closing my eyes thinking it was you as we made love long into the night

He makes me feel the same thing that you once made me feel along time ago

I look into his eyes and for the first time I see him, not you

and for the first time I am happy with out you, and I am more happy with him
