Why Do I Always Look For Love?

Jon Wiegand

I swear I knew Love in high school

I flirted with thoughts of kids, sharing a bed, and a ranch on the hill

I knew it for so long, I’m telling you, we were best friends

We held hands in the hall

Kissed after each promise of an eternity together

I don’t know what an eternity is, but I think the Bible says it should have lasted longer than this

And the Bible is always right, right?

Love and I parted with bitter feelings

It wanted me to stay at home, share more hot chocolates in the cold

I needed to continue living: go to college to make the real money

It was time to be a businessman, to pursue what was meaningful in life

Love wanted me to be a lover

I said I could be both

Love decided I couldn’t

It was a painful parting, like needles, bugs, and dirt all in one drink

It’s been awhile since we last met

I’m not quite sure where it’s gone

Last time I heard, it was with a 23 year old trucker

But I’d like to think

Love followed me to college, changed its identity

Watching me in disguise

And I think its about time to send it this poem

In hopes of traveling back in time

When an eternity meant an eternity

I love it: mags2416: look i really don't have any comment so i'm not going to take time to bullshit to support your emotional situation
