Just Desserts
Did I deserve to have a wonderful man by my side?
Did I deserve to feel his warm hand caress my cheek?
Did I deserve to be held close during the slow dances,
and treated with respect during the fast ones?
Did I deserve to be escorted everywhere, never left alone?
Did I deserve to have the time of my life?
Did I deserve to be the envy of all my friends?
Did I deserve to be loved the way I was?
...
...
...
Or did I deserve what I got?
