I remember our brief time together
That dance we did.
I can still feel your name on my lips and I hate that because
it's my fault.
It was as if I had no inhibitions, maybe I was high off the freedom associated with simply being there.
It's as if it wasn't even me.
Like
She approached you
sweet smile playing about her lips and asked if you were ready for this dance
She didn't ask for a dance
she simply offered a great time.
Giving credit where it is due.
You were great
and so began the infatuation that was bound to result in nothing good.
It was a one night thing,
those were the unwritten agreements.
Still nothing good came of it in the days following.
That night was a fantastic fantasy
That was all it was meant to be
But somehow my mind can't register that was what it was
And those songs
the ones we enjoyed
The ones you sang into my ear
I can't listen to them anymore, and I really liked them before you happened.
I started feeling jumpy and awkward
Feelings of self doubt surfaced
I started feeling like I wasn't good enough
Like I'm not good enough
But really,
It's my fault
I mean it was great
and a memory I won't forget,
But like, What was it that was wrong with me?
Am I too forward? too short? too innocent? Did I display some naivety?
Am I not pretty enough?Was I not enough?
Is that it? Am I not enough?
Know what, don't sweat it.
It's my fault.
I'm sorry.
I wasted my time.
And it hurts to think that
Because we had such a great time together
But I just can't seem to fathom why
I haven't the faintest clue as to why
Why I'm slightly obsessed
Why that night happened the way it did
Why everything is like this now
but
it's my fault
I'm sorry
