When We First Met

When we first met I never saw pain or regret, Nor sadness or sorrow Or hurt in my tomorrow. When we first met. When we first met I never saw or thought of a threat, Of constant lying and stealing Which no one finds appealing. When we first met. When we first met I never thought of a debt, Of money or promises past owed From dues you had sowed. When we first met. When we first met I never thought you as a bet, Where I won and another man did lose But, now I am in his shoes. When we first met. When we first met I was excited and in a cold sweat, When with me you began to flirt Now all those memories just hurt, I wished I had turned around and left. When we first met. Randy L. McClave
