Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent

After All

Posted August 5, 2001 4:23pm ET

She stood a little closer
Her hair brushed my arm
For a second, she looked at me
Dark eyes almost asking for what
She’d never want from me
She stood a little closer
Until she walked away

She will never love me
No-one ever will
That’s not that plan that’s been
For you or me
She’ll never hold my hand
Or mend this aching heart
How is one to finish
Without a start?

And she will never want me
To love or even care
That’s the last she’d ever want
From one like me
She’ll never hold me close
Prob’ly never call
It’s what I should expect
After all

Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.
