Somethings Never Change
He turned his head,
Winked and smiled,
He leaned in and kissed me,
All was good for a second,
Then I remember I couldn’t bear to love again,
I stepped back quietly,
And said I’m sorry,
As his frown came upon his face,
He asked slowly, “Is it me?”
My heart fell to the ground,
How could I explain my heart was much too weak,
Stupid little boys had hurt it before,
They said things, I couldn’t forget,
I’m sure if you looked closely,
You could see my tear scarred face,
And the crack that could never be replaced,
Yes, this man in front of me was quiet amazing,
Beautiful actually,
Which made it worst,
All the girls would want him,
Then I’d be alone again,
People as great as him,
Should be consider a sin,
He turned his head,
Winked and smiled,
He leaned in and kissed me,
All was good for a second,
Then I remember I couldn’t bear to love again.
