this is not a love letter
and i'm not
going to tell you
all the reasons
i've fallen for you

this is not an invitation
and you're not
going to waltz
into my heart again

this is not a confessional
and i'm not
going to tell you
all the things
i should've done
but didn't

this is not a fairy tale
and i am not the princess
that you will sweep
off her feet
