From Him

From him:

I watched the tide roll in

And it felt like a sin.

I should have been home with you,

But, see, I wasn’t sure what to do.

You’ve made yourself quite clear,

You said you didn’t want me near,

So when she came strolling by

I couldn’t help but say hi.

She was young, she was fun,

And her soft red lips,

I only wished that I could kiss…

But then there was you,

And our little girl.

Our home. Our room.

Our life.

I didn’t want to have to apologize

Yet I couldn’t tell her goodbye.

I never knew where to draw the line,

Don’t I deserve a happy life?
