a large single malt
I believed
We met and I
was smitten
And I
believed in you
You made me
happy
And I
believed in you
We travelled
and you taught me so much
And I
believed in you
You showed me
galleries
And I
believed in you
You talked of
history
And I
believed in you
We loved each
other
And I
believed in you
You
strayed
And I still
believed in you
You betrayed
me
Yet I still
believed in you
We parted and
you pursued me
But I had
stopped believing in you.
