I do.

i wish you would look at me the way you did when we first met;
you pinned stars to my eyes because baby I'm blind
&& i can seem to break away from these webs of lies you've spun around me.
you're the spider && i'm the prey.
it doesn't matter.
i couldn't fight it if i tried.
[i'm not sure if i'd want to anyways.]
my head says yes, but i've always worn my emotions on my sleeves...

Truth is--
i'm still loving you every minute of everyday of every year.
even when i'm with him.

[this ring he gave me doesn't mean anything other than a heart shattered by another man's broken promises]
this was the ring you were supposed to give me.
why were you so afraid of commitment, dear?

i forgot.
you committed yourself to her.

i pictured our fairytale wedding--
you && me
wind blowing a cool breeze
on a warm summer's eve---
Me in a white dress,
& you riding on a white horse to come && save me.

i guess that this was all a dream;
you && me.
&& i guess,
that's why i said yes,
to another man's request
to marry me.

      but i'm still in love with one guy,
      even though i still said yes to another.
      see the conundrum?
