If only you weren't saying the things you say to me to her.
If only you were giving the time to me and not to her.
Maybe you would've seen the real me.
The me who wears her heart on her sleeve.
The me, who is sometimes unable to breathe
And when you're around would eventually make me weak,
But it became evident
When I realized I lost all my confidence,
In the illusion of having you to myself
When you're clearly with someone else.
I'm too grown to be seduced by this figment,
But I'm also caught up in the rapture and torment
Of your attraction and the affection that you give to me as a present
Even though I know it wasn't your intent.
Our souls crossed paths and blossomed intensely
And our hearts grew fond of each other immensely.
How can we do this to her?
Would you do this to me if we were fully together?
Just a thought that sprung to mind,
Because cheaters never think, when their lives intertwine
With someone that blows their mind
That their partners often gets left behind.
It's just the conquest begins and the goal is in sight,
So never once would they think, is this alright?
What matters is they see what they want
And the seeds they would plant
Just to reap the benefits to satisfy their ego
Of exploring new territories and never giving their love a room to grow
So I can't take comfort in that.
I'm sorry! I'm just stating the facts.
I can't do to her what I wouldn't want for me.
Love has rules, so I refuse to cheat.
