Past Vs Present

My past asked how I was, my present laughed in his face,
said, "You silly boy, you weren't hard to replace."

My past nodded in silent acknowledgment.
Said, "Winning her over is quite the accomplishment."

My present replied, "Should I tell her you say hi?"
"No man, I had my chance, go and be her guy.

Show her the world, she deserves only the best.
Don't play her like some sort of jest.

Please listen to me take these things I learned,
make sure her heart has been honorably earned.

She loves the smell right before it rains
and she only gets sick when traveling on trains.

Pickles make her laugh, it never fails.
And she'll always be there when everyone else bails.

She doesn't want much, just your hand to hold.
And maybe some cuddles when it gets too cold.

You'll want to hear her voice when you've had a bad day.
Somehow she always knows the right thing to say.

Her smile has the power to light up a room.
She's like a beautiful flower getting ready to bloom.

Make sure you're on your toes because she's super smart.
Her wittiness will get you, make you never want to part."

My present interjected, Said "Hey man can I ask you a question?"
My past said, "Please.", with no hesitation.

"What did you do wrong? Why did she let you go?"
"I couldn't let her in, I could let my feelings show.

She wanted me to open up. It wasn't something I could do.
I wasn't strong enough and my chances I blew."

Before they parted ways, my past said, "treat her right.
When she pushes you away, make sure to hold her tight."
