Still Want You

once a long time ago
I told you that
love is giving someone
the power
to break your heart
but trusting them not to

and you told me that
whenever I was lonely
I should look at the spaces
between my fingers
and remember
that’s where yours fit perfectly

now things are different
you just play your little game
and you don’t even bother
to tell me yourself
that you don’t care any more
and that you have found another

however I am not naïve
and I have my own ways
I know what you say
when I turn my back
I have eyes and a mind
and I know that it’s over

though despite my common sense
despite the good advice
despite the way you broke my heart
and the way I cannot see your hand in mine
I still love you
and I still want you
