Was us?

I was so in love with you 

when I was 16

the kind of love that

makes you do crazy things

I promised I’d keep us a secret

having you privately was better than nothing

I thought

but I mistook how much more 

my love grew

for thinking you felt 

the same way too

but you never loved me

and I think deep down I knew

I tried to cast you under a spell of lust

hoping someday something more would come of us

I see now, how naive I was

but that’s what happens 

when you think you’re in love

eventually you’ll leave

to better, prettier things

and I’ll be left in the dust 

with a silly imagination of what I thought was trust
