I Thought Wrong

Elizabeth V. Zander

I thought you were my everything.
I thought you were what I longed for.
I thought you loved me.
I thought wrong.

I thought you cared for me.
I thought you made me belong.
I thought you wanted me.
I thought wrong.

So as I lay down,
thinking about how I was wrong,
I just kept on desperately wishing...
hopefully that, too, was wrong.
