You said
I didn’t make a plan with you
I dove headfirst and then I knew
Though time had passed and we had grown
Your value I had always known
Then got to know another we
A newer you I came to see
The more I saw the less I knew
How I might untie from you
Weeks went by, and closer still

Every touch a growing thrill
A kiss turned into something more
Not knowing what there was in store
One day I saw it in those eyes
Something not unlike a lie
All along the truth you kept
Under fluffy carpet swept
Your heart, so barely in your chest
Had come to me in secret mess
My time you used to make a stir
Meanwhile I could not be her
