Regret Long Ago Over a Large Single Malt

by David Deanshaw 

a large single malt

I believed

We met and I was smitten

And I believed in you

You made me happy

And I believed in you

We travelled and you taught me so much

And I believed in you

You showed me galleries

And I believed in you

You talked of history

And I believed in you

We loved each other

And I believed in you

You strayed

And I still believed in you

You betrayed me

Yet I still believed in you

We parted and you pursued me

But I had stopped believing in you.
