Big Deal of Wind and Life

The wind is blowing, trees are bent. 
It's time. I have to be out there! 
Really need a board for rent 
Else it's gonna be a nightmare. 

For me and others beside me.
To listen to me complaining, 
Observe me drooling at the sea, 
Where windsurfers are now planning. 

Oh how I hate and envy those 
Who have a board now and a sail. 
I watch attentively, I froze. 
A sailor jibing on a rail. 

What fascinates me in such sports? 
Touch of nature? Wind in face?
Being on the water in shorts? 
Adrenaline? The rush? The race? 

I used to be obsessed with it. 
Quit my job and fled to dessert. 
Year past and it was time to rid 
This lifestyle, it's a pure hazard! 

Before it used to be hobby. 
Romanced by palm trees and the sea.
Found self respect. In the lobby
We meet. Great sailing! You and me.

While in bed called out for harness.
You made big deal of wind and life.
I'll see ya. You fought the sadness.
With no wish asked me to be wife.

Turns out you never met the bar.
I'd rig up, grab kit, disappear.
You didn't wait on land. Too far.
Our paths diverged oh so clearly.

Despite laughs, closeness and great sex.
I'm young. Mistook it for real kick.
Depended on you, O'neill and Mexx.
You left me. That shit made me sick.

Never thought that I deserved it
But you surely wiped your hands clean.
Fell apart, screamed, could't handle it.
There was nothing of me left. Sin.

Never apologized for mess.
Wondered how was it? It bothered?
Moved on, settled for something less.
Partied, drank and found another.

You found a girl in two months time.
News just sliced me up in pieces.
Seems like yesterday you were mine.
It's ten years past. Have two nieces.

Did I forgive you? Do you care?
Wish I did. You caused me sorrow.
We never spoke again. Don't dare!
You vanished while I was hollow...
