A midnight shadow under the celestial sky
Flitting through the towering pines
You repeat to yourself a senseless lie
I don't love him
Silence forbids the shadowed mansion
Eyes blurred from teary passion
The only one that sent you crashing.
Those extraordinary eyes, sapphire, and amber
The tousled hair, dark and sure
His dangerous smile, casual but pure.
What happened to the ditzy parties?
Wild nights and the nickname "tease"?
How could this just suddenly decease?
I don't love him
The doorbell echoes, footsteps near
You brace yourself against betraying fear
And struggle against a rebel tear.
And there he is.
I don't love him
Ebony hair framing amazing face
You struggle to break his intense gaze
He is surprised. "You..." He says.
Words are caught like a spider's web
You feel your soul begin to ebb
"I love you" you said.
Whatever happened to the confidence?
The flirty girl who never got tense?
And yet now, a mere insignificance.
It's not true.
I do love him.
Shocked eyes stare, you dare not move
He has seen your love is true
"I love you too."
