You tried to figure me out as a woman, I tried to understand you as a man.
We fell into the land of assumptions, rivers of complications, perplexed by the contradictions.
We tried to put the pieces together working on the wrong puzzle. Focusing on the wrong solutions because we didn’t see the real problem.
The problem was we were adding all our bad experiences into the mix trying to solve things. You treated me the way you treated your ex because you were scared to get hurt again but I didn’t hurt you the first time. I treated you as I would’ve treated my ex because I didn’t want to be fooled again but you weren’t the one who made a fool out of me before.
I thought you were in it for my body and you thought I was trying to control your mind.
So our souls were left out …
We were connecting the wrong dots, working on the wrong puzzle this whole time.
