I was a fool

To think that you were a clue

To disinter the happiness that hides inside of me

Because whenever you smiled, I turned into a child

For I let my curiosity take over me

Yet I wasnt wrong when I thought it would be long

Til I would find the key to finally set free the happiness that hides inside of me

I thought you were the one that Id love with all my heart

You were, everytime I held your hand I felt like a marching band

When our hands embraced against each other, music flew through my body like water in a river, making me feel like no other

Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti went the piano key, singing to my ears as I went down in tears

Every single night I would bring the moon closer to Earth just so that you could have a better view

And every single morning, I wrote poems and letters just to make your day brighter

For the light that went through your window, the sunrays slithering through the blinds, was just not enough

I did all this just to hear the words "I love you" come out of your mouth

You see, I didn't care if I never tasted your lips

It didn't matter if my skin never laid against yours

And it was of no importance if our bodies were never covered by the same sheet of warmth

Because I all I wanted was for you to love me

It hurts most not that you went with someone else but that you said I LOVE YOU and didn't mean it.

You see these words have a greater significance than the three syllables that compile them

They ARE a compromise, for that person will be number 1 thing on your TO DO LIST because they will always stand before anything else.

They ARE signs of affection, for not only do they mean that you like their pretty faces, but they mean that you just adore the way they are.

They ARE a promise. It is a seal of unity that is never broken because you promise to "keep only unto eachother for as long as you both shall live"

You, you broke that promise.

And to think, that you were the one that would disclose the happiness that hides inside of me.

I was a fool.
