When you kissed me like that
I felt my body melt toward you
I felt this as love and respect
I was wrong
When you kissed me like that
You were perfunctory and cool
Thinking of something else
You held out resentment
I grabbed it and tried
To make it equal the love
That was in my heart
I was wrong to try.
When you kissed me like that
I saw only who I thought you were
Missing all the small signs that
Told me a different story
When you kissed me like that
You tried to show me
Your true intentions
I am sorry I could not see them
Because you kissed me like that.
