Heather
by Steven Cook
Can you recall the night our eyes first met?
You were a little down and upset
It seemed like the weight of the world was on your shoulders
You had just broken up with him and thought life was over
Then you stared, gazing into my eyes
Which came to me as a big surprise
Then you listened with ease as I told you
That it's his loss if he doesn't want to hold you
A few weeks later I came to your house
And still I listened to the words that came out your mouth
You were so upset and sad
When you talked about Carter not having a dad
I was a little confused at the time
But still I managed to make up my mind
To be a man and a father, or was I led blind
By the loneliness that I saw in your eyes?
