That Fateful Night

And so it was that fateful night
When we locked eyes
And you began the journey into my head
And eventually into my heart
That never did I for one moment think
That the one I turned to to wipe my tears
Would become the reason for them

And so it was that fateful night
When I stripped my soul naked
And you began the journey I had forseen
Down the road of games and eventually denial
That never did I for one moment think
That the rules I had carefully created
Would be the ones I gladly broke for you

And so it is this fateful night
When I have closed our book
And I begin this journey back to a safer place
A place where I can mend and heal
That never did I for one moment think
That the magic we created and believed to be real
Would turn out to be the age old illusion

But I thank you for that fateful night regardless
