Instant

I’d never pick you in an instant
I’d never have known how to choose
Yet her face in my mind so insistent
Tells me I'm going to lose

Create as you will
Your fantasy world
In which I've never existed
At all

Imagine at will
Your fantasy world
Where your very own Eve
Created the Fall

I’d never pick you in an instant
And these half dozen months,
Do not count
But given a bit of a reason
That time worn affection would mount

I always say
I’m over you now
So why is it you’re all
I'm talking about?

I constantly remind myself
You’re not worth the effort
And when we talk I know it’s true

In an instant
I’d never pick you
Because
You picked her
In an instant
