I heard today,

That you're seeing someone new.

I know the girl,

She's everything you want I'm sure,

But you're not everything she needs.



Should I warn her?

Should I tell her of the hell you put me through?

It was the same then,

As it is now.

You made me fall for you,

Tripping me with your every word.

Promising me arms to land in,

But you lie.

It's hard to catch when your eyes are closed.

Why didn't you see me there?

You left me broken on the pavement.



Can you see her?

She's falling at this very moment.

Will you catch her?

Will she succeed where I could not?

It kills me to know that she can,

And she will.

It kills me to know that I care.



I should hate you.

I should wish I'd never met you.

So why do I still wish,

You'd look at me like you looked at me then?

Why do I still wish,

You'd look at me at all?



It's like I never happened.

A long forgotten dream.

Well it hasn't faded for me yet.

I still remember every smile,

Every feeling,

Every word,

Every touch,

Vivid as the color of your eyes.

Why won't they look at me?



Are you afraid that you will see,

Everything that you missed out on?

Or

Afriad you'll see the pain you caused,

When you walked away,

No explanations,

No apologies,

Only half truths and empty words.



You can't be so naive,

To think I wouldn't question it.

"Don't be like that," you said.

Be like what?

Mad?

Upset?

In search of answers?

If you thought I'd let you walk out without a reason,

Then you underestimated my intelligence.

And I'm telling you now,

She's just as smart as I am.
