You know when it’s true
You know when you
Have found the one
Don’t you?
They say it’s the way it’s supposed to be
My heart tells me
True love lingers
And doesn’t bleed
Yet he
Says things
That give me
Pause
Like the way he draws
The stares
Of other women
And cares
Enough to
Share
His attention
Due me
He sees
So much
When he’s talking to me
I remember that about him
He had to see
Himself in others’ eyes
Not content to be in mine
Enough
I see
Where it’s going
He’s turned out to be
The same
One
Who hurt me
Before
I’ll store
My feelings
For him
In a place
He can’t
Get to them
And have laughs
And drinks
Until it ends
Then
I’ll be OK.
