Candy

*

A twisted wrapper tossed aside bobbles toward the shore

I’ve seen that candy pass my lips and felt the want for more

I thought of you and her a while and tried not to regret

The things I did when I was young, in love, and deep in debt

I’ve seen that candy pass my lips and felt the want for more

A foolish thing to want the one who can be yours no more

I gave you up, I let it go, I dreamed another dream

I struggled hard against the tide to walk without your lead

_________

I thought of you and her a while and tried not to regret

The me I was when you were mine, before you two had met

Truth is pure, if hard to take, and therein lies the rub

You were never mine to lose – your body’s not your love

_________

The things I did when I was young, in love, and deep in debt

I’d do again, yes, even now, knowing what I’d get
