you lied to me
i thought you made me happy
i was numb to your emotional beatings
i didn't listen to my friends
i stayed when everyone said to go
i thought that would win your love back
i didn't want to let go
i clutched onto what was my first "love"
but look now my love
i moved on
i'm happy with him
he's more of a man than you ever were
he isn't afraid to show me off
he isn't afraid to tell me everything
he isn't afraid to look my way through everyone else
he isn't afraid to love me
we laugh together
we hug
we walk
we go out
we smile at each other's awkwardness
we match perfectly
he is the missing puzzle piece
you were the corner trying to cram yourself in the middle
thinking you fit because you desired the attention
the attention of being the satisfying finishing product
you are wrong
you're the garbage on the street
he's the prized vase on the shelf
you're the shit on the ground
he's the flower in the garden
you're the moth, powdery and falling apart when i touch
he's the butterfly, stable and accepting of my curiosity
you're the silver
he's the gold
you are the prize to the first loser
he's the one who they desire
he is the one who one has to work for
he's the valuable one
he's the one we all crave
he's the future
you're the past
he promises more
you took more
he cares more
you whined more
all to this conclusion,
he's smart for staying
you're fucking stupid for leaving
