The way you used
to twirl your fingers
slowly in my hair
the way you used to
call me lovely
and reciprocate my stare
the way my name
would echo in your
perfectly shaped mouth
i never knew
i never knew I'd
fall in love with you
The way that you
would hold me in your
firm and tender hands
the way that you
would tease me
but I'd always understand
the way you loved me
but i never loved you
i lied to myself
and told me you'd change
but all you did
was lie and act strange
so i told myself
it would get better
but I'm awful good
at lying to myself
