How could I think you could ever want me
How could I think you’d ever want more than just my body
How could I think you would like me
Maybe it was in your words
Maybe it was in your actions
Maybe it was in your “I miss you”‘s and “I want you”‘s
Maybe it was in the way you look at me
That said you actually do like me and want me
Maybe it was my dream
That you’ve so lovely crushed
Once you saw the possibility of “something more” happen
You fed my delusion
Left me in great confusion
Now healing is the solution

It’s three a.m. in my kitchen
The moon makes my tears appear as pearls
Making my misery something shiny, pretty and not so very sad
I’m crying while you’re sleeping
Like you always slept on the possibility of love
