When I was young I spied this flaxen haired girl,
Her eyes blue pools and teeth made of pearl,
With a smile I melted inside my skin,
I wished to kiss the pouty lips of that grin,

This girl was six years my junior yet I was nervous,
Her dating defences were surely impervious,
To the likes of me an aspiring bodybuilder,
My intensified lust would most likely kill her,

Yet she took a chance initiating first contact,
I had to keep it together this goddess was abstract,
Though younger she was more worldly and wise,
All I could do was awkwardly stare in her eyes,

She took mercy and laughed at my jokes,
She invited me home to dinner with her folks,
It meant a lot to me  they were warm and receptive,
They trusted me as a man not deceptive,

We dated for months and I was truly  a goner,
I'd fallen for this angel but soon I'd dishonour,
You see I couldn't wait until she was good and ready,
My loins were in charge of troglodyte brain unsteady,

A former lover of mine walked back in the picture,
Shaking up my life and her hourglass of a figure,
I fell for her advances hook line and sinker,
I broke it off with the exquisite deep thinker,

Until this day I think of those days with deep regret,
How could I have given into that sexual threat,
Ruining what could've been the relationship of my life,
I lost the soulmate I should've called my wife.
