Only now
After all these years
Do I admit to myself
How stupid you were

It is funny. But if I put me into it, it's sad.

Watch:

"Only now
After all these years
Do I admit to myself
How stupid you were"

and I thought--

"Only now
After all these years
Do I admit to myself
How stupid you were

for loving me

because I loved you."

Not saying that's better or anything, it's just me adding my own sad ellipses...

I would have to title it differently of course.

I'd call it Recipricol Naivete'.

But that's if it were mine.

It ain't.

As it is (as yours) it is damned good.
