I know I am a jealous man
But can’t you understand?
It’s just because I love you so
And none of this is planned.
I do think that also
I am not on my own in blame
Some of the fault must lie
With you and your old flame.
Because in the early days
It wasn’t only me and you
In what now is a couple
It was not just one and two.
A lot of rumination goes on
In my cyclical head
About the words “I love you”
And to whom that they were said.
I heard upon the grapevine
(Or was it an e-mail I saw?)
Words that worried me
Made me think there was more.
So surely now with these new “friends”
Who text you all the time
With kisses at the bottom
My jealousy’s not a crime.
I know I should trust you more
Especially now we’re wed
But I struggle to forget
The time that you once said.
“I love you” to your old flame
Whilst we were going out
And this is why your honesty
Sometimes I begin to doubt.
You’ve said that you are sorry
And you’d had to much to drink
But to be honest, because of that
I just begin to think.
That you cannot be trusted
Especially when you’ve had a few
Which with these new “friends”
Is all you seem to do.
