She loved her simple life in the country,
She knew about herbs and berries and such.
But mostly she loved the safety and serenity.
I loved her, tried to live in the country with her,
but I found the country life too boring
compared to the city life I was accustomed to.
And she wouldn’t return to the city with me.
So I went back alone, but often when I’m feeling
lonely in the city, I think about her and wish
I could have stayed in the country with her.
But, alas, some things just aren’t meant to be.
