love songs never taught me how to love

it's funny, isn't it?

it never taught me how to get lost in your eyes, those sparkling, expressive eyes

filled with excitement and passion whenever you told me about how much you adored that boy group you listen to

who were they again? it's all blurry to me now

love songs never taught me how to love

it never taught me how to listen intently to anything you say 

stories, questions, rants, or even a corny joke—it's all the same to me

words that spilled from those velvety lips of yours

it is something i will never get tired of hearing and will probably keep entertaining, if you would even let me

love songs never taught me how to love

it never taught me how to calm my beating heart whenever we touched

a brush of a hand, a playful elbow hit on the side, a pat on the head

am i selfish to yearn for your caress every single time?

love songs never taught me how to love

it's funny, isn't it?

but it did teach me one thing: it can bring me back to the past

the past in which we were still happy with how things were, in which i haven't screwed things up yet

a simple song of affection and adoration made me feel a lot worse than i expected

because in between those lines, all i see is a bright future with you that is now long buried beneath the sands of time and regret
