Only a Chocolate Chip Cookie

HE WAS ONLY A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE...
I LOVED HIM

I met him for my birthday many years ago, there he was at the end of the buffet....a loner; the last one on the plate. He had a certain something...a sweetness. He was one chocolate cookie. I felt as if I'd always known him...it was love at first sight. When he looked at me with those warm brown eyes, I melted. Immediately I knew it, this love would last forever, he was the one. Since that day, we were inseparable. With him I could be myself. he didn't seem to care what mood I was in, how I looked or even if I gained weight. Together we had the recipe for happiness. No one ever made me happier than Chip.

THEN THINGS CHANGED

My friends said he was no good for me. He started to give me heartburn. I felt crummy, but it had to end. Now we've gone our separate ways. I hardly think of him anymore. Oh, if I see a certain TV commercial, a particular magazine ad, a coupon for cents off...that old longing returns. And when we run into each other in the supermarket, we nod. We're friendly. But it's OVER!
