Don’t get a big head When you’re given praise Especially when she gives it To everyone else Just a quota That changed our notion Of what true love really is It wasn’t the scene in the movie Or a kiss in the rain Not even the beautiful words in a book It was just an accepting embrace That took me by surprise Until everything I believed Crumbled to the ground Dissolving my soul into nothing Until I was lost in the void Trying to rebuild myself Into everything she ever wanted
