I told him about you
And how much I loved you
How much I was head over heels for you
And how was I mesmerized by you.

My bad.
Maybe I've been too honest with him
When he asked me what was wrong.
Maybe I forgot, or maybe not,
That he also was head over heels for me.

He replied,
"How can bad guys win in life?"
I smiled.
And I shouldn't have.

I texted you that night,
Ready and faithful,
Brave enough, loving enough
To change my life's direction for you.

Yet again,
You left me behind.
No, you just took your time;
And took mine.

How could you?
No
How could I,
Love you more;
Miss you more
I wonder.

He said he was jealous and heartbroken,
To know the one he loves,
Loves someone else.
I said that I feel the same,
The one I love doesn't feel the same way back.

Do not answer me,
Nor correct me,
I don't wanna get used to your poems
All over again.
And fall even deeper
All over again.
