You must think I’m foolish honey, not caring what you say.

But I see the way you look at her when you think that I’m not looking.

And I hear the way you talk about her when you think that I’m not listening

You look down at your phone and smile when you see her name pop up.

But all the while you say you love me, say she’s nothing, just a friend from work.

So I’m not stupid, or foolish, or blind, or deaf, oh no I read you loud and clear.

You can fool me once but that once is enough and I’m exiting the scene my dear.

If I quit cold turkey it hurts badly for a while but I get better. When you aren’t around I eventually go back to thinking like a normal human.

But man… when you come back around, you hit hard and fast and know exactly what buttons to press to make me fall each time.

You’d think I would have learned by now, but I never have been good at quitting.
