The Wrong Face
It’s the wrong time, and the wrong place.
My eyes are blue pools
Reflecting disappointment
Because I’m not her
____________________________
Once, someone that I cared about ended our relationship and explained their feelings using Ella Fitzgerald lyrics:
It's the wrong time, and the wrong place. Though your face is charming, it's the wrong face. It's not her face, but such a charming face. That’s all right with me.
