talk about wearing your heart on your sleeve

Now I see

She’s perfect 

What can I say

She’s everything I’m not

In all the ways I could never be

Now I see

Why you chose her

She’s gorgeous and smart and talented

And fits with you like the perfect puzzle piece

While we were more forced together 

The cardboard bent

We held on 

But never really fit 

Did we

Now I see

Why you chose her 

Over me

Now I see

Why you believed

In a Future with her 

But never with me

She gave you things I never could

But knew I would

Knew I should

It’s over now

Over for good

It’s understood

The end of an era

But hey

Could you spare a 

Good talk every now and then

Because i miss being the one you’d joke with

Now I’m just the one you make jokes about

Because I miss our banter

The way you’d answer

With a joke and a smile that never got old

But now it’s just cold

Without the warmth of your embrace 

The illumination of your face

Whenever you’d say my name

It’s not the same 

Now it’s dim

It’s looking grim

She’s a flame that sets your world on fire

And I was just a spark

Now stomped out

And stuck in the dark
