To Suzie


I did not choose to fall for you
Love caught me unawares
And now no matter what I do
All I receive are your glares

I was placed in an impossible situation
By your well-meaning friend
And it's brought us dislocation
Our closeness to an end

Yet my love for you is strong
It's very deep and sincere
And for you I'll always long
Even though we're no longer near

My heart will always race
Whenever I think of you
And now I'll never kiss your face
I don't know what to do

I never meant you any hurt
You must know that for sure
But now you're treating me like dirt
Which hurts me to the core

I wish you could forgive
And end all your rejection
Life's far too short to live
Without our love and affection

I would have given you all of me
My heart, mind, body, and soul
But it seems that's not to be
And I'm falling into this hole

Can we not make up and regain
The closeness we once had
Putting an end to our pain
And banishing all that's sad?

Don't panic, folks, we're friends again.
