Mood:
lyricalNow Playing: "As" By Stevie Wonder
*In my best Willie Nelson voice* To all the guy's I've loved before It's Valentine's and you're no more But wait now- I have more in store For all the guys I've loved before. To Brian-you were fresh as gold Too bad that we were five years old You moved and didn't tell me where Looked for ya for the next five years
To Daddy-you were a charmer and fun Best handlebar cabby under the sun A playmate and loved one 'til the tragic end Man-I despise that liquid friend!
To Greg-- you got the brunt of my fears My high school boyfriend of two years So gentle-In the end the fear was yours-'cause I took off for college, and unending world tours
To Eric--who enjoyed worlds all his own long ago a handsome grail searcher, but unfaithful--from a shed he was thrown This life his legs are crooked, but his morals aren't shot--still--What I really wanted, he gave not
Then there's you, Eric "Sunshine", For whom the sun would rarely shine You've conquered poverty and gay pioneering times Cynical and full of logic, you and I never agreed but in the nightmare of my life, you were right there beside me And when the time came to leave univerisity-you snuck a note on the fridge that proclaimed (platonically) "E loves D"
To Michael-who may never know his own worth a being from a technological planet who was classified as "special" since birth We met on a computer he built-but when it comes to our harsh world he can't stand it He was sweeter than the Pepsi he guzzled When it comes to his heart-I hope I didn't slam it
To Mike- wish I could forget your sorry "mass" Two years! Why'd I have to end up in that Clawson class? Entertained my affections for a measly few days then watched me suffer for eight hundred thirty-eight. You were lost, right? That's what the universe tells me-Hope I can let go-or I'll never feel free
To Papa P.-Please may you rest in peace quiet, fun-loving and proud-your guilt refused to release I speak for every daughter and your every grandson Our lease on love for you will never be done
And Papa-your love kept you here twenty years past a heart "attacked" The love you didn't grow up with-you still managed to give back- Faithful to Grandma Marge and all thirty-three of us Quizzical as a wise professor, yet practical and generous and To Tuck-a robber of the shrewdest kind Is there one ounce of heart in that extraordinary mind? All different flavors of women in your sex memory collection But the one law you respected was my willful rejection And in my heart, mind and soul seven men have come and stayed- For certain I know they'll be with me 'til the end of days. First my beloved cousin and in front of all my English cake-plus I'll acknowledge Daddy's spirit 'cause love never betrays. Then came my Sifu, Dan and Dad-By circumstance?-Of course! But now they've made their mark as elders - Couldn't let them go without remorse. The guy most new is my step-nephew- I know that leaves yet one more... In all the guys I've loved before When it comes to Earthly love there's more So just know- you're all good in my eternal book But the ones who've endured are the guys at whom I now continually look. So let's play again in lives galore To all the guys I've loved before
