Yes, I suppose I’m quite naive.
But what could I do?
No, you never lied.
It was never your fault.
Yes, I tried to shield my heart,
but with each word you got more inside.
No, you never deceived me.
You never needed to.
Yes, I wanted too much.
More than we had.
No, I never thought I had a chance.
I just dreamed of our mornings.
Yes, I am quite foolish.
I wanted my lips to touch you as you touched my heart.
No, I don’t want to share this with you.
I could never survive you laughing at me.
