Foolish Heart?

So, it went on, we would break up-Sharyl would be gone from my life for 

weeks and months at a time-But seldom from my mind-And never from 

my foolish heart.  For short periods I could force her from my conscious 

thoughts-But ridding her from my mind altogether-Was impossible.

Like a ghost from the past or an addiction you could never overcome-There 

Sharyl was-And my foolish heart would fall for her all over again.  

All I had to do was hear her voice or see her face and the rush of emotions 

would strike me full force-I could sometimes even manage the words “I 

don’t love you anymore”-But no one believed them-Least of all me-

Because my foolish heart-I knew I would love this woman forever!

As I look back-I’m never quite sure if her love is a blessing or a curse-

Or weather Sharyl would tell you, I’m a hopeless romantic-Or only a 

sentimental fool.
