Every line I write

All I see is you

It hurts to think I love you

And sometimes at night

When the fear creeps in

And the shadows dance

Because I’ve been played before,

Sometimes I think that maybe,

It was all a lie.

It’s happened before.

I never told you

About how the first person

That I ever loved

Was only pretending.

And when we talk,

I know I believe you.

But sometimes

The things in my head

The memories I never shared,

Cast shadows on the truth

And make it hard to believe.

The nightmares only come sometimes,

But never when

I know you love me.
