Our first attraction
Wasn't meant to be so fast,
But within days we went from friends
To "I love you."
I learned from that mistake,
That I need to take it slow.
So I waited for a while,
Cooling down from your after effect,
And tried my hand with a few new guys.
They didn't last long,
And the bartender didn't ask for ID.
I couldn't bear to change your name in my phone,
And soon enough the lovely girl sitting next to me
Was calling "Boyfriend".
You dragged me from the bar,
Holding my hair back as I threw up that last shot,
And carried me to my bed
In my one bedroom apartment.
I begged you to stay, you obliged,
And it went on from there.
And it happened again.
I had given you the benefit of the doubt, until I saw it for myself.
I hurled your things through the singular window,
Forcing you to swim through the community pool to get them.
How I enjoyed the look on your face
The anguish, the fear, in knowing
I wouldn't take you back.
I had told you that, time and again
Despite the drunken calls and flowers outside my door...
The ones I threw away.
But when I saw you again out in the campus courtyard
In the pouring rain,
It felt like fate.
You sacrificed your jacket to keep me dry,
And the kiss fit the crackle of lightning behind us.
But I won't ever make the same mistake again,
Because I gave you three chances,
And you wasted them all.
