it was a crazy-ass time
I was going through;
please let me apologize
for including you!

my life seemed gloomy,
I had thought of switching my "team".
then I over came anxiety
and conquered low self esteem.

I had a transition period
from the dark side to light.
unfortunately it didn't happen
in the blink of an eye or over night!

my new friends had shown me
a beautiful nurturing world.
then during the transformation
my feelings became unfurled.

I saw what euphoria was,
oh, that natural high!
I also did a few things
that made me cry.

I had to get used to,
the new person I became.
a new and positive outlook,
with the same old body and name.

I did feel infallible
and took foolish chances.
once again let me apologize
for those dumb-ass advances.

oh, don't get me wrong;
I did enjoy the kiss;
but if it cost me your friendship
it's something I would desperately miss.

I guess what I'm asking is:
can forgive and forget;
and still love your cindy-lou-hoo
that works for the vet??
