I finally understood
You thought I wouldn't
But I sat down and I got it
I finally got it
I read between the lines
I saw your intention
And I was surprised
By your intent
It was unexpected
But I was waiting for it
It didn't shock me
It confirmed my suspicions
I'd been carefully oblivious
I'd tiptoed around it
I ignored the truth
Until I couldn't anymore
When you said those words
You said them because they were right
Not because you wanted to
Not because they were true
But after some time,
I'm slow, I know
I understood
And I will act on it
I will stay away from you
I will allow you to forget me
Because I'd never been meant to be remembered?
I finally got that message.
