U-Turn

Long time ago we overcame exciting friendship,
Said secret words, and joined in shared wisdom.
Both kids of emigrants, we found a lot in common.
Even though I come from Russia and you from Benin.

I felt a crucial need to be around,
Dreamed to caress you tenderly, put kisses everywhere. 
Time stopped when we were together;
You were my cure from every pain.

You’ve been a splendid man, the best I ever met.
You made me feel so strong and blessed, protected and complete.
You kept surprising me with knowledge and passion.
The more we learned about each other, the more we fell in love.

I turned my life and sacrificed my attitudes.
Just to pleasure you I did things I hate …
You bolted suddenly - just in a few days
You’ve broken all we had captivated.

I overreacted; you’ve got harsh and weird.
Your put all time for studying not for me.
But worst, you said “A woman
Should have some secrets in reserve, some personality ”.

My mind stopped, my heart cried in pain.
I served your every will; what did you give me in return?
I felt I had to change. One sleepless night
 I burned all the passion from my heart.

So, now I am far from you and busy.
All kinds of guys quote and admire me, I party everyday.
I study hard, and you have noticed that.
So, you’ve begun to beg for my attention.

Life twists like a pretzel; I am not around anymore.
Enjoy my “cruel” personality! I’ll keep my pride.
Depressed and sleepless you quote me and ask to think.
I took twelve days and I am thinking now.
