George on Meredith



I'm George and love Meredith.
She weakens and strengthens me.

With Meredith, I feel alive.
She doesn't see me.
With Meredith, I dream.
She loves a sheppard, a "dog".

To "I'll never stop loving you",
she says, "This isn't good".

She's rational, sensible.
She holds it together well.

But:
Guys aren't supposed to feel,
aren't supposed to cry.
Good bye, get lost, get real?
When girls say, "It's over",
Guys are supposed to "get over it".
