I feel like I was just a stop
on the way to your destiny
like you only loved me
so that you could be better
at loving someone else
at loving her
and perhaps this wouldn't hurt as bad
if I didn't know
that you wanted her before me
that you probably thought of her
when you were with me
and that you probably see me like that too.
—i don't want to be your progress for her
