Rules

Two lives so different in review
Two hearts abroke, yet different too
Though soft surrender was our way
We knew at last would come the day
And now one path has turned to two

Why did you always walk behind
I noticed, and yes, I DID mind
Perhaps you really watched my butt
The way you said, or you're a nut
Why did you have to be so kind

My little world was your dream place
I saw that when I kissed your face
You knew I wasn't ready yet
I told you that when we first met
Don't love me, you will lose the race

You won it all with clever ruse
Suspicious mind murdered my muse
No time for me to pause and ponder
No chance for me to even wonder
But I've deduced from all the clues

It's just another trap to fall in
A hoop to throw a roundball in
I might have stopped looking ahead
But honey, I was never dead
Tell me the rules and I can win
