Wish I'd Never Met You

It’s such a sad statement but it is true

True in that I wish I’d never met you

Free from your dear presence as it ensue

Seemingly within my mind's clear purview

+

Would I have such diverting words to say

The very moment I met you that day

To prevent your enchanting charm and fey

To prevent this current utter dismay

+

Cannot take back that very fine greeting

Cannot take back our first fleeting meeting

Cannot take back my trepid heart beating

The instant we encountered each other

+

My mind machinations verily start

Of ways to defend myself and my heart

By imagining fake flaws and outsmart

To make the deep thought of her fall apart

+

But one fine afternoon is all it takes

Of me being in your friendly wakes

To so dash my poor cognitive mistakes

And make my lies indeed utter fakes

+

I hear your voice, hear your sublime laughter

And I want to be with you hereafter

But know to emote this is disaster

And that any chance together is gone

+

Dammit woman why must you be so good

Carry mirth and joy wherever you stood

To say I hate you is complete falsehood

But the heart pain is intolerable

+

I know we will probably never be

A couple others on the street can see

Which makes your good company so beastly

Within the confines of only friendship

+

I wish I could say that I didn't know you

And all the ways the great good in you grew

But I do, I know you indeed its true

True in that I wish I’d never met you
