It came
It lasted a while
I tasted it and it was GOOD
But, now it’s gone
I can tell myself that I don’t care but I do
I hate being in love, absolutely HATE IT
And I’m not going to let it happen to me again

I haven’t rode my bike since
I fell in love
Today, I rode my bike
I rode it hard
Probably because I’m angry
About finding someone to love
And having it vanish
It was a fleeting moment

Before I found love
I was perfectly happy in my contentment
I accepted the fact that I was bored
And that I’ll probably die in boredom
It was ok

I ride my bike
I teach Spin class
I travel and take pictures
I drink
It makes me happy
I’ve recently picked up cigars
It’s an experience
I’m ok
Then I met a girl and fell in love
She’s really perfect for me in every way
Foreal, she is, and I love her
But I can’t have her
Because I can’t have her 100% of the time
We both need 100% of time
To give
To live
To love in a meaningful and passionate way

Perhaps, and I certainly hope
That the future brings us together again
I will keep hope alive
But I will keep it alive in the deepest hole of my psyche
Because I don’t want to fall in love again
Until the time is right

Until thenI’ll ride my bike
