Why did I fall head over heels?
Why was I mesmerized?
Not from your coquettish ways,
sweetness, or lack of lies.
How you snared me was unfair
in some vague cosmic sense
You clubbed me; dragged me by the hair
With your intelligence.
Why did I quit so suddenly,
and put you on a shelf?
Reasons I can't articulate
that make sense to myself.
We're too good at moodiness
Our arguing was heated.
Because I'm not around those scenes
will never be repeated.
That's as good a reason as any.
