But I Do

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

You lasted a whole month 

with not a single message, 

but then here you are again. 

 

Do you just not like

that I have moved on?

 

I was just starting to forget you;

you must have known.

 

I shouldn't respond (but I do).

I shouldn't want to (but I do).

 

Sometimes I can't get you 

out of my head.

 

It's like you are embedded

into my subconscious. 

 

You are the last thing I think of

when I go to sleep every night

with my husband lying next to me.

 

You have an effect on me 

that I can't deny. 

 

And it's destroying me,

but you probably enjoy it.

 

Maybe it will ruin me and everything 

I've built here one day.
