Aphrodite

I thought I was the girl.

I thought I was the girl who you laughed at jokes with.

I thought I was the girl who you smiled at when I said something goofy.

I thought I was the girl who brightened your day after a long, tiring one.

I thought I was the girl who you spoke to first when you saw me in the halls.

I thought I was that girl.

That girl who you wanted.

That girl who held on.

That girl who would care for you like no other.

But there was someone else.

Someone else you smiled to.

Someone else you laughed with.

Someone else you stared at like she is a Goddess of beauty and love.

You talked to her like I am invisible.

I thought you only acted that way with me.

But I was wrong.

You acted friendly to her, too.

I just could not compete with that.

I mean, her beauty and her intellect were no match against my dull personality and irritating honesty.

How many can say they enjoy that?

If I were you,

It would not be a difficult decision.
