Fooled.

I believed in the best that I saw in you. I knew that was not all you were.

A person is more than the outer surface they show to the world, for one thing. A person is far more than their best, for another. And your best was not all I saw.

But I believed in the best. I believed in the best that I saw, in you. And I gave you a chance to be that best.

Dear, it was not me - not me, who was fooled.
