My One and Only
I fell in love with a poet. I fell in love with someone Who opened up his heart to me And let me inside. I fell in love with someone Who wrote things about me That I wished someone Would write about me. I fell in love with someone Who needed me Who I needed. I fell in love with someone Who could make me smile When I needed to laugh And who could cry with me When I needed to cry. I feel in love with someone Who was like me in many ways I never imagined. I fell in love with someone Who could write how I felt Who could feel how I wrote Who could understand who I was Who could be what I understood. I fell in love with someone Whose problems were different from mine But whose heart was the same as mine. I fell in love with someone Who wanted to see me all the time Who I wanted to see Who wrote poetry for me from time to time And made pictures for me. But now things are different Things have changed slightly. I fell in love with someone Who is the same as me Where I need him to be different And is different from me When I need him to be the same.
