Yours, Unconditionally (Just Kidding)

i wrote this in memory of my first crush.

Yours unconditionally,
Just call and I’m there

What a joke, I believed all the lies

You’re beautiful
You’re too precious to me

Why didn’t I see?

I’m head over heels for you
I care about you

He was so sweet…
Then everything changed

I’ve seen the pain, trouble,
And disappointment
I don’t want you to be put through that

It happened anyway

Your trust in me is misplaced
I struggle with myself

He says these things, then makes it worse

I don’t think I could do that to anyone
If there is nothing else I can protect you from,
Then let this be it
Thank you for being who you are

His last gift to me, freedom from
Himself, which turned out to be
The best gift of all
