Separation

Oh Susana! Don't you cry for Me!!!
I appreciate yr heartfelt honesty and truth
I can only write in poetic form 
for it helps keep me in my youth,

I understand how much you cared for me
and I still feel the same,
I made my own decisions as a grown man
and will never ever complain,

about what we were
or what we became,
I will always love you 
no matter what yr last name

and Now, I sit here in N. Truro 
listening to Jason Mraz
after dropping little Loo at school
and taking out the trash,

I just want to reassure you 
that I am not bitter, sour, or mad
I have learned to understand the past
and move on with life even if sad

So Susana, my Susana of the South
please don't cry on my account
just live yr life as it was meant to be
don't allow the past bother you, or let pressures mount,

but always know that I 
will be there for you, my wife
know that I will always care for you deeply
for the rest of our natural life...
