the book of whimsy ✓

i guess i thought you'd say yes

"i guess i thought you'd say yes" - in which scarlett is a dramatic little bitch :P

---

i guess i thought

you'd say yes

i thought that you

too

were dreaming of

holding my hand

and laying

next to me

but i guess it was

all in my

imagination

a fabrication from my

unruly mess

of a mind

it's fine

i guess i thought

you'd say yes

i thought i was the

hero

of my story

but i guess i never

stopped to think

that i might've been

the villain

in yours

some kind of

unworthy being

who was stabbing

at a chance

for something

it did not deserve

i guess i thought

you'd say yes

even though

you were of

daisies

and i was of

thorns

we do not

grow

on the same

vine

i can only hope

to find my

roses

someday

somewhere

someplace

not with you

i guess i thought

you'd say yes

that you'd give in

to the whims

of teenage

recklessness

i should've

known better

than that

i should've

known you would

think it through

before your

no

came

i guess i thought

you'd say yes

it wasn't as if

i was asking you

to marry me

i was just

praying

that you'd consider

loving me

i guess you thought

that was

stupid

i'd put my heart

on the line

a million more times

if it got me

the taste of your

red lips

on my own

i'd live a hundred

thousand more lives

even though i

hate living

if i just got to spend one

with you

i guess i thought

you'd say yes

even though

you clearly

didn't feel the same

even though

i knew

what was going to

happen

i didn't want to

write about

heartbreak

so this is

all that i will write

the rest of our

drama our

tragedy

will stay

hidden

between the lines

of poems

i wrote

when i was

in love with you

i guess i thought

you'd say yes

but yes is a big

promise

and i guess

yes

was a promise

that you weren't

willing

to keep
