A Part Of Me

Hating you

Your intimidation won't work
Its just child's play
That's what it is
And don't you try to sway
Me with those sweet little lies
That escape your luscious lips

Your cool and calm facade
Doesn't fool me
It never did
Who are you trying to kid?
I think I already knew you
Even before I met you

I wondered why you
Always seemed so keen
To please me
Just so I wouldn't flee
Far away from those conversations
That were seemingly lost to me

I wondered if
Hiding behind those compliments
Were just plain old lies
That I wanted to believe
With every bit
Of my beating heart

I thought I hated you
With every fibre of my being
Now I realize
Just how wrong I was
Never have I ever
Been this regretful

I always thought a little too much
About the way we touched
About the way you smiled
And your kind words
That were hard to come by
Suddenly
I wasn't wishing for the stars
Or fancy cars
Just you and me
Holding hands and
Looking deeply into each other's eyes
Ever so often

Those wishful thoughts
Cajoled me into believing
That there was a chance
Maybe you liked me too
The way I did...
Never mind...who am I trying to kid?

Its been years
I wish I could erase you
From my memories
Like you never existed
