I believed you

ah relationships, they can fill you with regret

I believed you
When you told me
You wanted to wait.
I believed you
When we sat in your mom’s van.
The back seats were out
And what you had originally deemed a nuisance
Now seemed an opportunity.
I said ‘no’, you said ‘sorry’
And I believed you were.
I believed you
When I laid on your bed
And you told me you loved me.
I believed you
When you said it wouldn’t hurt.
And I believed you
When you said it was just a small break.
Your promises were all
A minute thick
With no memory of the past
And no guarantees for the future.
You waited until I was vulnerable
And you were sorry I wasn’t easier
And you loved the way
That I melted at your words.
And nothing seemed like it hurt at all
When I compared it to
My broken heart.
