“Your heart is safe with me.”
Please.

If I believed all your petty
sorry pretty words

I’d thank you again
for the lessons.

“I’ve never had a love like this.”
What, that first kiss?

Cried myself 31 miles home.
I should have known.

Forgive me, darling,
I knew this was coming.

It’s ok, it’s ok, I didn’t know how
to love you right either.

The difference is, you walked away, and
I would have never stopped trying to learn how.
