I love you,
do you believe that?
I bet you do.
I see your face and I see your eyes
I see how flush it gets with a thousand smiles;
Your heart is pounding in your chest like you had run a hundred miles.
What a fool you are
thinking that I do!
I say this to a dozen people
and they believe me too.
But don't judge me,
I mean no hurt.
Saying I love you, to me, is like
"How is your day?"
Of course, I say it to everyone regardless of their age.
And if they chat up to me I call them "Babe".
Words, sweetheart;
words!
So don't blame me if you take it too serious
My intentions are clear and believe me when I say that
I don't care how
you
View
yours...
...
...
Clearly, you are mistaken
Thinking that I can love the type of you
the flags were there and they were red as ever.
woe to me for thinking you, clever.
But, whilst I played the game you
acted the fool.
what a fool you are
for being so dumb and foolish.
Fool,
Fool,
Foooooooool!...

It is unfortunate that
You have built your world around me
with mortar and stone
thinking one day I will be your home.
Didn't your friends and advisers tell you that I wasn't your own?
Blame yourself!
You Foooool!
You have built your house on loose soil;
it is bound to break. So don't blame anyone for your damn mistake.
You took the boat out on a stormy lake
It can't make it through!
Don't blame the lake. It is, after all, a stormy lake.
...
...
...
Despite your foolishness and insensitivity towards my deceit and blatant disregard for your emotions on numerous occasions, I wish to atone.
So tell me,
how do I... atone?
...
...
...
I love you, Baby,
I really do.
I think about you a lot and the magical line that form the structure of your fine face weighs heavily on my heart by a ton:
That is when I miss you and I crave your touch.
Yes, Your touch. Those magical hands ease my stress and calm the nerves throughout my entire body.
Yes, you remember!
Don't stop, reminisce on that...
Think of the time when I told you that I was yours and Nobody's.
Yes that time, you remember.
Don't you?
Well, I was lying to you just like I have been lying to you since the day that I met you.
You fool!
You fall for the same trick every time!
Just three words: "I love you" and you are already contemplating forgiving the disrespect of a dozen pages.
How foolish are you?
You can't tell me that, every time I angle my head to the side after a slow kiss to call you mine, You don't look into my eyes and see the lies.
...
...
...
My dear, I learned that act from your favorite scene of your favorite movie.
Yes, that one where the couples professed love on a field rigged with mines. You can't tell me you have forgotten the lines.
It read; "I love you and you are mine".

So don't tell me you didn't see the red flags,
they were there and they were red as ever.
woe to me for thinking you, clever.

But then again, you are a fool. That is how you are built. I bet you will read this line, forgive me, and pray for my change.
Sorry to disappoint, I don't love you and any expectations towards my change or glorious transformation won't come to pass.
It is, after all,
"A fool's gambit" and
I am the best fool-maker there is!
