We were 18 when you began to
Fall short of my expectations.
So I fell short in your bed.
As we were putting our clothes back on,
You whispered in my ear,
"Baby steps, baby."
A promise you wouldn't keep.
Before the night was out,
I asked you if you would still
Love me in the morning.
You said yes.
I should have asked you about
All the mornings after that.
Because it only took 7 for you
To say yes to someone else.
She was only 14.
