That girl with green eyes

The bitter taste of loneliness
With longing ripe with despair
And hopes of you dead in my mind
Shattering joy of my first affair

Realising that all my hopes were false
That girl with green eyes loved me not
I didn't need the sad advice that
told me that she would soon be forgot

Time does bring wisdom finally
That tart taste of failure disappears
Stale memories ground in the dust
I found sweet Sue and lost all my fears
