A Fool For Love

by @elizabeth-lawrence

You pushed through a crowd You sought me out You made me laugh, And paid for my drink. I gave you my number. You texted me every day You made plans to see me You held my hand in yours, And made me think you were different. I gave you my trust. You spent nights watching movies You took walks through empty streets You sat on park benches with me in the cold, And let me play with your puppy. I gave you my heart. Then one day it wasn't enough, no--something bigger, something better, something older, something familiar shattered what we had built. I didn't do anything wrong, You were crazy about me, It just didn't work out, You were sorry. You pushed through a crowd You sought me out You made me laugh, And paid for my drink. I foolishly gave you my number.
