A Funny Sad Remembrance A Poem


A Funny Sad Remembrance

It would be his birthday today
I would wish him well.
He once figured highly in my life
Until his charm wore off.

We met in a college classroom.
He was so polite.
He was so cute.
He had such delicate features
With eyes that made one melt.
They were dreamy and chocolate
And his lips were full and developed.
Underneath a neat mustache.

Months later we met an the unemployment office.
Yes how bizarre when I think of it now.
The one time I needed benefits
From being laid off.

He invited me over to his apartment
For a drink or whatever else.
I really did not know what to say then
But I eventually made the trek.

One thing led to another
And I finally gave in to the attraction.
It was so welcome
After what I had been dealing with.

My father was dying of cancer.
I felt quite bereft.
Steve offered a diversion
And this pleasure was better than crying.

Steve proved all too human.
He was a selfish man.
He told me he wanted to see other women.
But it actually gave me time to spend with my father
In his final month.

A month after my father passed
Steve contacted me with an apology.
I had somewhat moved on.
I was still somewhat numb.
I was dating someone else
Someone who would be just as bad
In the long run.

I remember the quandary
And had mentioned it to a coworker
Who made a little ditty
I cannot remember the precise wording
But it had something to do with me wearing
My heart on my sleeve for Steve.
Versus what I felt for the other guy, Teddy.

Teddy and I lasted a few months
He was in love with a prior girlfriend
I was not really caring about the breakup
I was kind of glad because we were no match
We had very little in common.

A few months later
Steve showed up.
I cannot recall how he found me
I had moved twice in the interim.

He told me he loved me
In a funny sort of way.
Right after I told him he had to go away.
You see he had a drinking problem
And I did not want to be part of that.
It was not something I could handle
After all I was barely surviving myself.

So on this day that is his birthday
I think of him and what he meant to me.
A cute guy who offered some fun times
While I dealt with an upcoming death.
A guy that said he loved me
In a funny sort of way
Not the best or most romantic ways I guess
But I appreciated the words nonetheless.
I wonder now if he thought I was,
The one that was heartless.

Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely

It is good when somebody tells you they love you no matter how they say it. I think this guy was a welcome diversion to take your mind of the heartache you were experiencing at the time. You should look on him fondly I think.
