When I miss the summer heat

While in my bed I lay,

I watch the storm from beneath my sheet

And see the sky turn grey.

 

These last few days I've been right here

With this certain loneliness.

I face the world despite my fear:

My Jennifer I will always miss.

 

Will I ever touch her again

With my love so true?

And will I still be her friend

And have her love me too?

 

I know that now I lay no claim

And that I have no ties,

But why am I to blame

To wish for such a prize?

 

Such intelligence is rarely matched

With such a lovely figure,

And when her gorgeous surface is scratched

Her fan club grows quite bigger.

 

They see in her a beauty

Of knowledge and of soul,

It sure would be a pity

To let a treasure go.

 

I know the hurt they'd feel

Only magnified many more times,

To me it is quite real:

This Venus once was mine.

 

I wish her all the happiness

And I pray each day

That God may truly her life bless

And help her on her way.

 

I laugh when she is happy

And cry when she is sad.

And hope that everyone else will see

What a good love we've had.
