in the beginning.

i was young. i was naïve. i was innocent. i was gullible.

you were as young as me, but you were clever, a mess, and knew how to pull strings.

i believed when you called me beautiful. i believed when you said you were in love. i believed when you said you wanted to be with me.

you knew how to make someone melt with words. you knew how to make a mess and leave it like it never happened. you knew how to lead someone on.

i wish i knew what i was lead in to.
you wish you knew what i wished.
