Matters Of Hearts

part 1 | a fool falling in love

I couldn't believe my eyes,

But you were standing right here.

In front of me,

Speaking the words I always yearned.

I had always seen you from far,

Fusing around the girl you loved.

But now she was gone,

Leaving you alone.

So, I thought,

I had a chance.

But I wish,

I had looked deeper,

Beyond the surface of your words.

I would have found despair,

With heartbreak and desperation.

Found out you didn't mean,

Anything you said to me.

But I said yes,

Letting you string me along,

Serving my fragile heart,

On a silver platter.

They warned me,

Told me to stay away from you,

Reminding me, you were just in love,

Just had your heart broken.

That you were still not over her,

Not ready for another girlfriend.

But I ignored the warnings,

Hoping they were wrong.

But the truth was bitter,

That intensified as time went on.

I remember our first date,

That cafe near our school.

Saying how I looked in uniform,

You had me blushing.

I bit my lip, looked down pleased,

You gave that fake smile.

I wouldn't lie,

But I was disappointed,

When you ended the date,

Without your lips over mine.

But time went on,

I ignored the signs,

Thinking we were a perfect couple.

Not noticing,

The lingering looks you gave her.

Overlooking how awkward we were,

Shying away from each others touch,

Even a month after.

Somehow I fooled my heart,

Into believing you loved me.

Giving me the title,

A fool falling in love.
