for me to forget

where i’d got you from

began to believe

you & me

could be something

other than

until you gave me

a wake up call

found you loving

somebody other than me

all you were

was monkey branching

toward the top of that tree

somewhere away from me

no thanks no regrets

backward looks

a better view

had you in my arms

such a short time

this romantic fool

forgetting he was standing

on the bottom branches

there only to boost you
