Miss-forgivings

(a complex pun)

Confusion. I still can’t see

the reason you set me free.

I’ll never really understand why you let me go.

But now I’m not sure I even wanna know!

Forget it. The pain is gone.

Don’t sweat it. When the heat is on.

My happiness and peace of mind don’t come from you.

My life won’t fall apart when you tell me “We’re through!”

The ladies have hurt me so.

It’s crazy! Gonna let it go.

More important things in life than to dwell on this.

Don’t you know I’m satisfied? — I’m bliss!

Commitment is hard to find.

A moment — you’ve changed your mind!

You can only count the love that’s in your hand.

But remember when you got good lovin’, it’s grand!
