Fifth Dimension

One time a
long time ago
when a woman
that was special
to me broke
up with me
I went over early
one morning to see
if we could reconsider,
not sure if we could
and not feeling too confident
and as she let me in
I couldn't help but notice
the song that she was playing,
it was a song by the Fifth Dimension
and it seemed to be playing especially
just for me and it went something like this,
"One less bell to answer, one less
egg to fry, one less man to pick up after,
I should be happy but all I do is cry."
At that time in my mind, being a jealous man,
she had already been with another man
and being young and unforgiving
I chose not to understand.

What an unusual perspective and such a realistic bit of adverse emotion portrayed here. Very entertaining and interesting.

Indeed there is always a message in what surrounds us, but often it takes time to interprete it. Now with the acquired wisdom you would recognize the truth.

Beautiful and wise, dear James.

Love,
Margherita

Sometimes jealousy can be blinding, we gotta be careful not to let it take control :-)

Hmmm... lessons learned.  We all have them, don't we!
