Something Special

Don't go thinking you were anything special.  Right place, right time was all it was.  I was so full of longing for that relationship feeling that any seemingly nice, decent looking guy, to whom I felt the least bit of attraction to would have done.  You just happened to hit on me on just the right night and you just happened to kiss me in just the right moment.  So I let you in.  I looked over the edge with that 20/20 vision I'm so proud of.  I saw the dangerously sharp rocks at the bottom.  And I jumped.  I guess I was hoping I'd grow wings or something.  Maybe I thought you'd catch me before I was smashed to bits.  Besides, I was sure those rocks weren't as sharp as they looked.  They were.  And you didn't catch me.  And I sure as hell didn't grow wings.  This wasn't the first time I've looked before leaping and lept anyway.  It won't be the last.  The point is that at the moment you found me I would have jumped for practically anyone.

So now do you believe me when I tell you you were nothing special?

Funny, neither do I.
