Someone asked me if I knew you
I could only ask "wait, who?"
"Oh, him. Not a clue"
I almost said I used to
almost said I loved you
we were just kids
so who knows if I did

I found myself flipping through memories
skimming old texts last night
flashing back to how you fixed me
I almost wanted to make things right
I don't know where you went
when you walked out of my life

You were the mistake I wish I'd never made
but the one I'd never change
someone told me about you
that you're her perfect little dream come true
she told me everything I already knew
I could only bite my tongue
let my heart go numb
act through the heartbreak
tell myself you were a mistake

It was all a game
one I never learned to play
walk into my life
just to walk away

I am stronger now
I can live without
I was always yours
but you were never mine
ps. I hope she rips your heart out
A million times

Fuck.

"First on my neverending list is Jessica Perez! I met Jessica last year , we had the same lunch but we never got to be good friends. Said hi once in a while, but never got close. Until the beginning of this year, she has been there for me through thick and thin and I know I can always trust her! We sometimes write poetry together and I'll admit, we're not half bad:) I'm so happy we became good friends! Love you Jess:)"
