Lightning never strikes twice

There may have been time
some time ago
that I thought that
I was in love.

The feelings were there
but turned out
not to be shared
by the man I was thinking of.

I went on with my life
although I did cry
but it wasn't that hard
to say good-bye.

There were times I thought
that maybe I ought
just to give up on men.

I stopped searching
for anything more than a friend,
but to my surprise,
and I still blink my eyes,
when I think of what
happened then.

A friend from afar
(that land down-under)
took my self-pity
and tore it asunder.

I know now that loves me more
than I ever thought
could happen again.

With this new man
I'm thinking maybe I can
feel love again.

So if this is true,
it will sure be nice
to disprove the saying
"Lightning never strikes twice."
