Life as I Wanted

I always wanted to be that “tall, dark and handsome” guy, but my legs are too short. I did find a woman I loved but it didn’t last and my baby left me for a fast-talking’ man. Of course he won her over with his generous compliments, and good looks which wooed her quickly before she realized he was a fake. It’s hard to feel sorry for her and as I sit here, now my bank account all my own, I can dream and read and travel as much as I like. It’s not the life I originally saw for myself, but I am free and that counts for a lot!
