Prolagus commented on the word naïve
Oh, I'll settle down with some old story
About a boy who's just like me
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
You're so naïve!
They always reach a sorry ending
They always get it in the end.
Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then
With a winning smile, the boy
With naivety succeeds
At the final moment, I cried
I always cry at endings.
(Get me away, I'm dying, by Belle and Sebastian)
