One person.
One laugh.
One glance.
I cannot have.
I was given one rule
And one rule only.
Do not fall for that boy!
I should’ve let those words control me.
Because now I’ve done the dumb thing.
Now I’ve fallen deep.
I cut off that distraction
And now I am fully indulgent in my defeat.
What a poorly balanced dance we play.
One wrong move and it crashes down
Because I am a cunning, calculated, fool
And as everyone says you are an asshole in a crown.
But this uncertainty feels like the easiest this I’ve ever done
And so what if it all goes to hell?
If it does, I would be falling with you, for you.
And knowing that… I sleep well.
