You Think

Then find it’s not true

You think he will always love you

Then you find that it’s not true,

You think he’ll always want you

Then hurt when you are through.

***

You think you’ll grow old together

Loving for ever and a day,

You think he’s only eyes for you

But it never turns out that way.

***

You think he’ll never let you down

Or betray you with someone new,

You think you’re his one and only

Then discover he’s really got a few.

***

You think he’ll never do you wrong

And he will always be around,

You think you know him so well

But you know nothing you’ve found.

***

You think none of this will happen

But you since found out it’s true,

You think he has the same feelings

The deep feelings for him you do.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
