I just want to forget you. But I can't.
I have not healed. My eyes still grieve in secret.
I'm still innocent in this open-ended story.
You left me on the corner...literally.
Confused and distraught I ran away too...never to look in your eyes again.
Hoping a bad day was to blame for the awkward space right in between us.
I could wish I'd never met you, but the truth is you were a short lived blessing in disguise.
Razor-sharp and tender at the same time.
You stole my heart at first smile.
Created a severe and beautifully broken tear.
I only had enough time to absorb you like a glass of wine.
Just tangled myself in your breath every night.
No heartbreak is ever fair.
But your reasons just made NO SENSE.
Not with the connection I know we had.
It all started with your favorite kind of dance.
So, I only remember the good in you.
I tell myself over and over,
I just need one more night with you.
One more taste of you.
One more chance
to prove I'm the one for you.
Gullible enough, even foolish enough to fall for you,
but smart enough to know this tale is one-sided.
I'm just a believer, a lover, not a mind-reader.
You simply broke my heart, Mr.
