BELIEVING THAT I LIED - a repost from a decade ago
I know that it always hurts
When I think of you;
And I know for sure it always will
Every time I do.
The memory of what we had
Just won't go away,
And knowing that it turned out bad
Darkens each new day.
I see that when we said goodbye
Something in me died.
You seemed to be so very sure
When you said I lied.
It wasn't just the words you used
To say that we were through;
It hurt much worse that you believed
That I could cheat on you.
And when I said I didn't care
It tore me up inside.
It's funny in the saddest way....
But THAT was when I lied!

Nice twist at the end, and conveys a strong sense of loss and longing.
