Imbalance

I thought that when you left me
That time would heal me
Of my craving for you

But, Oh God, I was so wrong!

I thought that when the moments
Of missing you became days that became weeks that became years
That I would forget you

But, Oh God, I was so wrong!

I thought that when I incinerated your letters
Ripped up your photos, cremated your memories
That I would forget you

But, Oh God, I was so wrong!

I thought that when I married a loving sensuous woman
That her kisses and caresses would
Banish you from the core of my being

But, Oh God, I was so wrong!

I thought that nurturing the miracle of my child
Would stop me missing
The cries and laughs of our unborn children

But, Oh God, I was so wrong!

The only thing I got right in my life
Was how I felt about you

Isn't it ironic?

And isn't it ironic... don't you think
When you meet the girl of your dreams
But you're not the boy of hers

And isn't it ironic... don't you think
When the girl of your nightmares
Becomes the woman of your dreams

Isn't it ironic... don't you think?
