I was reluctant at first but
Your interest seemed genuine
I told myself it was a fling
Yet got caught up in your persistence
It was intimate
And passionate
And true
As these things go when everything is new
I’m not sure exactly when it changed
I can admit I was not without blame
Feelings of confusion and distance grew more
Questions of concern were always reassured
I knew to trust my instincts, I have learned that before
But I’m hardheaded and chose to ignore
What we fail to learn from the past
We are doomed to repeat
Another lesson attached
To my every heartbeat.
