coisas que eu nunca te disse #51

once there was a time
when a kind word could be enough
and once there was a time
I could blindfold myself with love
but not now - now I'm resigned
to the kind of life I had reserved
for other guys less smart than I
you know - the kind who will always end up with the girls

(Divine Comedy, "Becoming more like Alfie", 1996)
