The fool that I am
by Vanessa X. Mejia
To Tim: you helped me to see
"The fool that I am"
How foolish was I to think there could have been a "you and I",
So foolish enough to believe you were going to be true, all and all mine.
Foolish! I say, was I....
Putting you before my friend... how could I?
Feeling jealous whenever you spoke,
betraying her by having feelings for you.
How stupid was I?
Thinking I could keep my best friend and you as our friend,
yet still classify you... as My Lover!
Knowing that this would hurt my beat friend...
How dare I?!
Thanks for common sense! Showing your true color was a gift
to see that we could never be, but my best friend I will always keep.
Yes, that fool was I, but no longer will I be, because thanks to you,
I realized that putting you before my friend was, yes indeed,
a foolish thing.
See, because you left me, but she still remains, helping me
to see that dealing with you was the most foolish thing I did.
But thanks, because no longer will I be that foolish again.
Never wiil I put a man before my best friend.
