There was a man in Acapulco,
\nWhere the waves wash as high as the mountains.
\nAnd in the wet wind of June,
\nMy foolish old heart wanted to kiss him.<\/p>\n
His echo\u00a0swirled\u00a0around\u00a0me like chocolate,
\nWhen his hand took mine, helping me
\nIn and out, on and off.
\nOur words not saying what they meant.<\/p>\n
Late one evening, against a cold wall
\nThe truth escaped his lips.
\nTwo girls and a boy. And a wife.
\nJust a car, a man, and my imagination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
