It still haunts me
My foolishness
How fool I was to not have known that it was the last time I was gonna see you
How fool I was to not have seen the signs that you were slowly slipping away
How fool I was to not have known what to say the time something needed to be said
How fool I was to have thought that we would last and everything would be okay
It still haunts me
My naivety
How naive I was to have believed in true love
How naive I was to have fallen for the lies they’ve promised us in rom-coms and books
How naive I was to not have known better than to believe that you’d fight for me
How naive I was to have fallen for the way you glanced at me
But you can’t blame a hopeless romantic
I’m only a girl with fantasies and dreams bigger than me
Much of which are now
Shattered
Crushed
Dead
As a I learned the hard truth
That to love is to waste your youth
On false promises and lies
That if you get too close
Love blinds you by its dazzling light
But from afar you realize
Love is but a fleeting sight
