Anything But Love

I lost her. My life is falling apart. Messing up seems to come easily to me. Shouldn’t have been such a shock that she left me, again. She finally got sick of my jealousy and accusations and walked out.

She is so beautiful, guys everywhere stop and stare. She flirts back sometimes, but not overtly.
But I being insecure, always thought she would walk off with the first guy that looked her way. Now she has.
And I don’t know what to do to get her back. It’s almost Valentine’s day, perhaps a big card, huge heart shaped box of chocolates, an engagement ring. A cool plush animal that sings and dances?

Who am I kidding I can’t afford any of those things on my salary.
She’s probably already found a new guy. A rich guy who can buy her expensive things and take her to exotic vacation spots, diamonds, furs and all those things that woman want.

All those things I can’t give her. I can’t give her anything but love.
