I'm afraid you do not know Tina.
In spite of dating her for months.
Nothing has changed.
You've done her no wrong.
Do not be so hard on yourself.

Look at her, sitting there at the bar,
with her red wine lips and smoke halo.
Appearing no different than when you first saw her.
Nothing has changed
You've done her no wrong
Do not be so hard on yourself.

She did not break up with you.
You two were never joined.
It is because you wish to possess her,
that she compassionately pushed you away.
If you truly "love her",as you say,
you will know that nothing has changed.
Don't do yourself harm.
Stop being so hard on yourself.

You have given no thought to her wishes.
Thinking only of yourself.
"Love" is used as a tool.
A yoke of guilt, by which,
you hope to control her.
I'm afraid you do not know Tina.
In spite of dating her for months.

and so...
you selfishly approached her,
disregarding requests,
and tried again to apply the yoke of
"I love you !"

and now...
you weep, and wonder why.
It is because you are far too hard on yourself.
Nothing has changed.
She has done you no wrong.
Do not be so hard on Tina.

Before I left, I asked him,
What was Tina's reply ?"

"The mosquito loves me too.
What else ya got? "

God, I love Tina !

Smiling wide...

I'm in.

Can I be president of her fan club? (I read somewhere that only the female mosquitoes bite, but I promise to not bite...hard.)

You make me happy, yanno that?

If you only knew my thoughts of you...
Sometimes it seems...perhaps you do...
