My dad got remarried in June of '84.  He left me in charge of the house he and his wife, Bonnie, had bought while they were honeymooning.  I hadn't seen my friends from the neighborhood I grew up in as a kid so I went there, grabbed them, and brought them to the house.  We had a nice little party and all but one very close friend left.  His name was Johnny and he knew I was depressed.  He stayed overnight and I introduced him to my girlfriend, Beth.

It ended up that, not only did Beth break up with me, but she started making out with him in front of me...

Forgetting You
by Glenn A. McGrew II
8/29/84

I'm so lonely
I hate to see
other men
where I used to be.
It pains me to think
that you're with someone new
and when I do
despair rushs thru.
I try to forget
what we once had
and I know in my heart
that the world's not bad.
Though I know this
'tis only in my heart
of which you stole
a fractional part.
The rest of me
tends to rebel
and my soul
gives a despairing yell.
Though I know it's over
and we are thru
sometimes I still wish...
for you.
