i'd spent a long time
convincing myself you were not the one for me
though i think it's funny to believe
that i realised that once you'd kissed me
i had loved you since we met and i fell to my knees
i was your artist
i painted you so beautifully
you were set on the easel in my heart
and i used my best colours for your smile
but once i was done painting your soul
i took a step back
and i saw a god
though he looked nothing like you
he had rings wrapped around his pointer fingers
and long hair
but not long like yours
and he didn't smile like you
i must admit
it scared me at first
because it was your smile that melted me
creating a puddle at your feet
i once wished i could tattoo your smile on my body
so i'd remember how it felt every time i would breathe
but this god
his smile was new
and it fit my body like a perfect whisper
you were not the one for me
it may be true
but you were the one that taught me
who needed to be
