Victim of Love

When I set my eyes on you the first day
It wasn't the first time I was falling in love at first sight
The first lines I used on you and you went deep crazy
Forgive me, it wasn't the first time I was hitting on them
When I promised you heaven and you danced to my tune
Forgive me, it wasn't the first time I was promising anyway
When I told you, there was something in your eyes
Forgive me, I actually saw nothing 
I was only a man of the deep ocean
Sent by my desires to swim
And I did swim anyway, so forgive me! 

When I took you to the movies 
I actually did not love movies that much
Forgive me, for I only wanted you as one
When I took you out to watch the football matches
I actually was not a lover of ball
Forgive me, you were my game
And I so much wanted a match from you
Out of all the processes in my organs
Melting my heart was actually not one of them
Forgive me, I lied
Catching a grenade for you was not within what I could do
But I said it anyway, and you fell deep in my muscles 
Forgive me, I am walking away! 

I know you did not see this coming 
But it has come anyway
If you need more of me, play the memories a little 
Not all men are like me
So don't judge them by my own nail
You can always love again
I was only a player, you my game
You fell in my match, but I didn't wish for a team 
So away I carry my steps
Letting you out to the world of flesh
I never loved
I loved the game
But do not throw a stone
It might hit someone, maybe not me! 

So as you read this letter 
Judge not others by the sins I made
But I am still human
Maybe I shall love someday, someone, but not you
Move on, because life doesn't stop
Forgive me, Forgive my lies
Forgive the days I spent with you
Forgive the nights I promised you heaven 
Away I carry my steps
To find another victim of love
