To all the boys I've loved before with brilliant minds and persuasive demons pretty faces Botticelli angels all I can ever be to you is a darkness that we once knew and this regret we've grown accustomed to you see, we were strangers once but I'll never love you the way she does and yet I fear my confession is too late and as it stands I know you will hate me until you forget me but I will hate you longer I'll be your villain your bitch drunk by six with my lips wrapped around too many cigarrettes a day remember my disposition as the smoke fades I'm having one of those days where I don't want to think about thinking so quit interrupting my thoughts with talks about how you used to be my closest ally...
To all the boys I've loved before your lips pretty as a rose petal speak to me of forgiveness I can only imagine how it feels you ask me for it I deny you three times until I forget what there is to forgive and yet you forgive me like always, like yourself and I'm here half expecting to be killed by the things you have done but I live on too stubborn to die and I...I never forgive that's how I recognize it by what I don't do and can't do I know what it is because I must and you would if you could but what if you can't forgive what if you can't forgive me...
To all the boys I've loved before it was not my intent to betray you or hate you for breaking up what once was you were for a moment in time just one of the boys I once loved...\n\nHarlequin Rose
