THE ONE THING I HATE

Last night I saw you cry . . .

It was like tears falling from the sky,

And I asked her why?

You simply said, “That you were hurt,

And that I treated you like dirt!”

Maybe it’s because you’re such a flirt?

I can assure you that didn’t get me far,

So, I poured me a drink from the bar,

And I let her know she is still my star!

Then in quietness there was not a sound

It was like lighten dancing on the ground,

And reasoning was nowhere to be found!

Then into her mind I tried to dive –

At least my love, we are still alive . . .

And in your heart don’t feel deprived!

Please forgive me for telling you a lie

In the future my love I promise to try –

The one thing I hate is seeing you cry!
