I wasn't planning to go out that night But was convinced by 'just a few' I fell in love just instantly The second that I saw you
In you I saw beauty Joy, unbridled passion I also liked the good looks sweet moves, and sexy fashion!
Our courtship was a whirlwind A dizzy, hedonistic blur I'd never known a love so full And for that you were the cure
We became inseparable And everything grew deeper I retired from the seas to land Cos I believed you were a keeper
We did not need to wine and dine We lived on love alone Using any extra bits To make ourselves a home
We cooked and bathed together Went shopping at Ikea We went on trips, adopted pets Yet sadly no idea
Had I To the extent of your addiction You called it 'recreational' That was a lie, just fiction
Every time you said 'one more Just another line' To sweep you off your feet And pull the rug from under mine
I had already begun to grieve you Long before I left Yet two years down the line My heart is still bereft
But my life is full again I'm happy, though still single Still unable to connect Still unable to feel a tingle
I miss our home, our friends And the feel of your fingers And in my weakest moments There is a question that still lingers;
Was it me? What did I lack? Was I somehow to blame For the monkey on your back?
