Praying for Love

Once upon a time

In a prayer I sent to God

I wished for someone perfect

To cross the path I trod

He'd understand me wholly

And we'd fit like matching parts

I knew somehow we'd have

Intertwining hearts

Then one day I met him

Doing what I love

I swore he was a gift

From heaven up above

We got along so wonderfully

Like I'd known him all my days

He made me feel so complete

And my stomach twist all ways

Though, I imagine he's too good

Now I feel so second-rate

Where I am merely passable

He is simply great

When I finally met him

We matched soul and self

I guess I should have realized

He'd have someone else

I see how well they fit

Like a knife into my heart

It's not my place to want her gone

But this is not my art

I swear I'll never meddle

And weave a tangled web

I guess I should have asked God

For a single one instead
