gone a long time

been a second since i seent ya
even longer since you saw me
with the same eyes as you did
before your vision got faulty
clouded by hate, doubted my mate,
pouted but wait,
out of my state, now it gets late,
without her face
here to remind me of the time she loved me blindly
i could find a million reasons why i lied
excuses left the truth behind
now i'm past tense,
man this shit was all my fault
she had hints, asked friends
said it was all my loss
down here in Dating Purgatory
other girls that know her story
i'm told on the first date, to make it to the second
wasn't worthy
heard she found what i couldn't give
a picket fence, a dog, and kid
husband with a sharper wit
and Cinderella's slipper fit
aint this a bitch?!?
thought i hit the mark, but on some 'narrow miss'
almost hit dating gold, but got the next man rich
the best revenge is livin well
she doin her thing, and uh..
i messed it up over a fling.
