not about me

 
		a diamond is forever
		
	

eyes blurry with love she says “yes”
yes to marriage and love and the whole shebang

eyes blurry she accepts the ring he places on her finger
and all the love he has to give

she quickly forgets the lie he told
to test her love and strength
she lets love overrule the fact that he lied to her face
hours before asking for commitment and happy ever after

he said -- they didn’t like her
he said -- dinner was awkward because his family didn’t approve
and watched as she sat, with pain and discomfort in her heart
he just watched as his lie ate away at her
		while she made small talk with them all
		
and when he gave her the ring
	(a diamond is forever)
he came clean
	“i had to test how you handle bad situations”
she passed
           and now she wears his ring
she tells of his kindness and goodness
she speaks of his love and honesty
	(he’s not the type of person to lie)

how quickly she forgives and forgets
