Love or Something like It

They think that we are fools,
because only fools rush into love.
And maybe it is true,
that we were on the rebound.

But I needed to be caught,
before I hit the ground face first,
And you were the one who caught me.

I am not one incapable of bouncing
back from ruined relationships,
I have the strength of my mother,
tough-shelled Latina,
no man will ever walk over me
without surely regretting it.

So when he said good-bye to me,
for the first time and the last,
I barely cried.
I was not ashamed to be single,
not in the least.

And in fact,
it was a mere accident that you and I became "one",
So,
do not flatter yourself,
you were not the chosen one,
out of a grand pool of suitors.

You are just you...
Average, yet
(And I am not ashamed to say it)
completely irresistible
