When We First Met Poem by Randy McClave

When we first met
I never saw pain or regret,
Nor sadness or sorrow
Or hurt in my tomorrow.
When we first met.

When we first met
I never saw or thought of a threat,
Of constant lying and stealing
Which no one finds appealing.
When we first met.

When we first met
I never thought of a debt,
Of money or promises past owed
From dues you had sowed.
When we first met.

When we first met
I never thought you as a bet,
Where I won and another man did lose
But, now I am in his shoes.
When we first met.

When we first met
I was excited and in a cold sweat,
When with me you began to flirt
Now all those memories just hurt,
I wished I had turned around and left.
When we first met.
