To who I thought was the one

Maybe one day I will forget the day I met you.

Maybe one day I will forget every I love you, every I miss you, and every goodnight.

Maybe I will forget you called me what you called her,

But maybe I won't.

Out long nights on the phone will be nothing but a void in your skeleton of memories.

Maybe just because you say you will marry someone and promise them the world doesn't mean anything.

Just because you say babe she doesn't matter, doesn't mean she is not on your mind,

And don't call me crazy because we were once them.

And don't call me lazy because I dare not put myself in misery of fight for first place.

And now every I love you will be part of a backseat conversation and you will be buried in the trunk of my car.

When we looked at the stars and basically said our I DOS.

And now once was a fairy tale story is a story that we mourn.

Because our loved died in my arms.

Refusing to let go, I gave us CPR, refusing to accept the death of our future.

I tried so hard but whose grave do I go visit when I miss you.

Because you are not really dead you just left without warning.

Because after you said I will marry you one day, you said I need time to think the next.

How the hell does someone go from naming children with each other to I hope you have a good life.

But I do, I hope you have a good life.

But just because I wish nothing but the best for you, does not mean I wasn't the best for you.

It just means you weren't the best for me.
