But You Didn’t
By Merrill Glass
Remember the time you lent me your car
and I dented it?
I thought you'd kill me...
But you didn't.
Remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was
formal, and you came in jeans?
I thought you'd hate me...
But you didn't.
Remember the times I'd flirt with
other boys just to make you jealous, and
you were?
I thought you'd drop me...
But you didn't.
There were plenty of things you did to put
up with me,
to keep me happy, to love me, and there
are
so many things I wanted to tell
you, when you returned from
Vietnam...
But you didn't.
