I know you know what I think
As if I had written to you in ink
I tell you a little lie
But it never passes by
I repeat that I've moved on
You know I haven't
And have a little fun
Teasing me that I wont ever
but I keep telling you I never
You look deep in my eyes
trying to get me to realize
to admit to you
every complete detail in truth
but I keep my point and deny
I'm just not willing to let you satisfy
I try to look strong
but you're not wrong
no matter what you put me through
I know I still love you

It's a poem about how a girl tries to pretend that she doesn't like a boy but he can see through it.
