The person I wanted you to be

I am finding it hard to reconcile

How I could be so naive

It should be on our codicil

We didn’t set out to deceive

I found myself so much in love

With the person I wanted you to be

Instead of looking objectively enough

At the person there to see

Maybe in your vanity 

You tried to hide your flaws

Maybe in my vanity

I ignored the warning scores

It’s sad I can’t forgive you

For having feet of clay

When mine are similar too

Maybe that’s my dismay

I haven’t yet cured myself of love

Without you I am feeling blue

Am I longing for my fantasy above

A love given true?
