today.

by eliza-parkerul

Today I let someone buy me dinner. Today I let someone say, "you look pretty." Today I let someone make me laugh And show me around the city But because I let you inside of my heart Years and years ago, When he leaned in to kiss me as you'd done before I said "I'm sorry I have to go." Today was supposed to be good for me Because I thought I was ready within When I thought I was going to let you walk out I invited you back in. Today I let someone take me out And my smile became a frown After all of this time believing I'm healed Today I let someone down.
