I had him at hello.
Now I wonder what to do with him.

Men are only good for lying
and buying drinks.

A hard time in my life,
God put him there with his wallet out
and his heart upon his sleeve,
with no knowledge of who I am
and what I've come to believe.

He is so in love it hurts him;
the way I smell, what I wear,
how I strut, the sound of my voice,
the curls that attack my hair,
and even when I'm not looking,
I still catch him in a stare.

I had him at hello
and he's got it bad...
what am I to do with him?
I can only make him sad.

The first part of this made me smile quite a lot.
Well, now, men are wonderful creatures, even with all their "faults"

Maybe you can only give yourself time. Who knows what happens then, but ... I love the poem. Yes, there's humor but there is also a beautiful statement of who you are. We are lucky to have you among us as a friend and a talented poet.

Its better not to encourage someone too much if you don't share the feelings...
but with just the right amount of encouragement, who knows what might happen later...James
