As I sit here with a hangover from pride and devious assumptions;
I see where my downfall began-

          University Café at 8:24 pm:
I saw the way she looked at you- a second too long with a twinkle in her eye.
I could have sworn you gazed longingly back, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt.
You told me she was a study partner from class, so I dropped the subject of the matter.

                 Your dorm room at 12:37 am
I thought I would surprise you with a late night gift, but I was the one surprised seeing “her” there.
You claimed you both were just studying and talking about absolutely nothing, but how could I believe that? I refused to be the fool.

                                Your friends dorm room at 12:52 am
I sensed the way he looked at me behind your back.
I cried on his shoulder; loosening him up with my seductive skullduggery.
I then let him consume in your late night surprise.

                                                   Present  1:13 pm
My assumptions have departed, but guilt has risen in its place.
You rush for me still trying to reconcile last night’s misunderstanding, and I finally see your truth;
but I’m too ashamed to divulge mines to you.
Skullduggery - deceitful behavior

We've all made an *** out of ourselves from making assumptions before,  but what happens when you act on those assumptions ruining something that could've been.
