Bad Idea

It was a bad idea Saying hi to you It was a bad idea Not walking right away The very minute you said I had a lot of baggage So very offhandedly It was a bad idea Sticking around when You told me things that Would make me feel worthless It was a bad idea Forgiving you Because maybe I deserved it anyway It was a bad idea When I put some distance between us Only to close it once again It was a bad idea When I let you Apologize to me For hurting me so many times When I let you Try to make amends It was a bad idea When I began let my heart soften Just enough to Be able to feel once again My face brighten At the mere mention of your name It was a bad idea Laughing and smiling At the things you said It was a bad idea Looking past all your flaws And wanting to be there for you It was a bad idea Letting you be there for me It was a bad idea Doing the practical thing It was a bad idea Trying to prove myself That I really wasn't special at all It was a bad idea Finding out that I wasn't after all And not confronting you about it It was a bad idea Pretending like I didn't know About all those other girls It was a bad idea Letting Confusion Insecurity Sadness Doubt Grow within myself It was a bad idea Finally telling you how I felt It was a bad idea Allowing myself to think That maybe You were a good one.
