Just A Little Boy

Just a little boy

Silly now to wonder

If one sweet lie was true;

Useless to discover

What I meant to you.

 

I knew what I was risking;

I knew that I might lose;

I knew how you could hurt me

And how you could abuse.

 

I had so many dreams though

Of all that I might gain

But you were just a little boy

Playing silly games.

 

A waste of time to think about

The way it might have been

If you had been the man I thought

Or dreamed what I had dreamed.

 

I know I’m not the first you tricked

I know I’m not the last

I know you’ll look for other prey

To make up for your past.

 

You were just a little boy

Playing games with me

But still, I love the little boy

He’s very dear to me.

 

Useless not to speculate

On how it all will end

It doesn’t really matter

I’ll always be your friend

 

I know right now you’d like to turn

And run away from me

But it isn’t necessary

Don’t you know – you’re safe with me

 

I know you’re just a little boy

And I’ve learned to play your game

Stand still and stop your squirming

And be my friend again.
