  You & I
  
  
  your promises
  
  
  were too good
  
  
  to be true
  
  
  i should have seen that
  
  
  from the start
  
  
  i remember looking at your face
  
  
  and feeling only one thing:
  
  
  desire.
  
  
  now i look at photos of us
  
  
  and wonder how  
  
  
  i was so blind  
  
  
  that i couldn’t see  
  
  
  what was right in front of me…
  
  
  you made me feel safe
  
  
  when i felt as if
  
  
  the whole world
  
  
  was against me
  
  
  the first of our butterflies
  
  
  hatched from the cocoon
  
  
  young and idyllic
  
  
  too pure to know
  
  
  that love is only
  
  
  disappo
