The Story of Us

by Cheryl Johnston

I fell for you - I fell hard
And I did a damned good job
At deluding myself into thinking
That you fell for me too

And so I wonder...
What was I thinking?
I set myself up
For this utter blow to the heart

I was living a dream
A dream that became my reality
And I thought for awhile
That we would work out 

But I didn't have a chance
I should have known...
You were blinded by your love
For someone else

So for now I'll try to forget
The dates...The feelings...
And the illusion of a sweet heaven
That you introduced to my world
