...and girls are joys

"That's a fool's errand.That's my purgatory.
Dinner, drinks, whatever.
Never really all that interested,
But i find myself telling her
how beautiful she is anyway.
'cause it's true.
All women are, in one way or another.
You know, there's always
something about
every damn one of you.
There's a smile,
a curve, a secret…
You ladies really are the most amazing creatures.
My life's work.

But then …
there's the morning after.
The hangover,
And the realization that
i'm not quite as available
As i thought i was
the night before.
And then she's gone.
And i'm haunted by yet another road not taken..."
