change of heart, look around you

[currently listening to: beck - everybody's gotta learn sometime]

i knew, from your lips
that you were not for me.
i still remember that moment,
as you spoke her name, 3 syllables long -
you were delicately practicing, caressing each letter,
which comfortably rolled off your tongue.
i knew, from your lips
that you were not for me because
saying my name only made you cry.
