I Believe I was a fool

I believe I was a fool

I think I was a fool for thinking that you loved me.

I was an idiot for thinking we had a chance.
I told myself lies until I smiled to sleep.

I kept dreaming until I could no longer desire to stay awake.

All because I loved you.

I kept thinking of what could be.

I kept thinking that you felt the same.

We were both too shy to say.

We were both unable to say.

We had our reasons.

We didn’t think the other liked the other.

I was wrong.

I was foolish.

I was stupid.

I was an idiot.

I was in denial.

There was never a chance.

I just wanted to feel happiness.

I just wanted to think that I was something you cared about.

I wanted to think that I had a chance.

I just wanted you to love me.
