I promised to not fall in love with you
You tried to warn me
But the hour was late
We were laughing hard
I felt happy
For the first time in a while
I didn’t want it to end
But every start has its end
I thought I was enough
Enough to make you stay
To make you want me
At least half as badly as I wanted you
Not for the first time…
I was wrong
Wrong to think that I could make you stay
You always found another to give your heart to
And when each one left
I remained
You wanted my love
But didn’t want to love me
I promised not to fall in love with you
That promise was made to be broken
