3 Guys In My Life

To the three guys in my life,

The one I hate, the one I love,

The one I can’t stop thinking of,

To the three guys in my life…

We were lovers in the rain.

We kept it PG, shuffled covers

Till dusk devoured dawn that day.

We held each other through the pain,

Frenched the night till the lights screamed,

Rated R, but only too late.

Then the drama, the fate we made:

You’re married, and carrying,

Because your girl’s a month away.

Now karma’s dangling me like bait;

I look foolish telling stupids
Cupid, you traitor, I thought you landed me a mate.

You weren’t honest from the gate,

So now you’re the A-hole from the stables,

Making you the poster boy of  the guy I hate.

To the three guys in my life,

The one I hate, the one I love,

The one I can’t stop thinking of,

To the three guys in my life…

We were partners, high school days.

Study duos, studious pupils,

Then we’d stay up, plotting nights awake.

Break up for a day,

you a nuisance wrapped in cuteness
Now we’re adults, and we misbehave.

After college, dukes of restless days,

We bared our madness,

Then went our separate ways.

Numbers stayed, texts flew,

Foul dreams of love, of nights unmade
Until you found a girl to date.

Heartbeat stopped. “Crazy, hey?”

Turns out I loved you only when I lost you,

Which, darling, makes me the bitch today.

To the three guys in my life,

The one I hate, the one I love,

The one I can’t stop thinking of,

To the three guys in my life…

We met in Capri, a big mistake.

We went prancing, then went dancing,

As the month ended in lace.

You kept me happy, romance innate.

Sent me flowers every hour,

Said you’d get me hitched one day.

You knew about him, the man I hate.

Met the one I’d once felt for,

And made me the girl you love today.

But I wasn’t ready for vows and veils.

So you left me , yet not quite,
Making you the man of late.
