My college Girlfreind

I remember you; running home, for our appointed lunch hours

Just one block away, from the crazy Dean's Castle

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches halved, steaming hot, micro waved chicken
 noodle soup or sometime grilled cheese quartered for dipping in our tomato and those
silly little oyster crackers you made me buy, I had to drive five miles to get those things in rush hour traffic 

A full sized giant dill pickle, halved long ways of course; though I knew I would
 never get my half, but, I was always okay with that
 
You were studying to be a (Marcus Well Be) a T.V. Doctor I would tease you
                                                  and
I was just graduating from the "School of Hard Knocks"
 

We made some time and lots of love, and then you went away I just wasn't okay with that
But, my college girlfriend  I knew you were going to go

Is love just a state of mind, what makes it so great?
 
I know it is more than just the restless sweaty hormones; that we all have

You learned from the straight and narrow college books and those professors

Me, I learned from the mean streets of our Chicago town, while driving that
damned old taxi

But, it always makes me so glad; to remember the day you turn those learned people

                                                                    Out

                                                                    and

                                                           Choose me

                                                             Over them

                                                                    or

Could it be, you just needed me and that old taxi, to get you around

Either way my dear, I will love you, to the very end, thank you
