Hi, How are you?
How is life treating you?
How is life with your boyfriend?
You still happy with your relationship?

Its been six months since I've seen you
Temptation from me was too much for you to bear
so, you let me go
how is that decision working out for you?

Since then I've searched high and low
near and far, wondering where to go

Ive seen them all, dated them all
young and old
they come, they go

most with their hands in my pocket
wondering how to get in my heart
how to lure, feed the id,
the ego

to the vacancy you left
they try, they smile
they flirt but it all falls
on ears that are deaf

insensitive to anything but your touch
your voice
your smile
your quality

its been six months
do you miss your American
your man
your friend

or am I just one of them
your could have beens
just one in the list
of passed over possibilities

of passed-over men

Well now isn't this a well written bleeding/pleading from the heart.
Nicely done!

Forget the Psychiatrists they just find out all about you and sell you back to yourself!
