All the single ladies, all the single ladies,
The realization that I'm now one of them stings.
Not because I want the "taken" status,
Not because wether I'm in a romantic relationship or not defines who I am;
It's just
That all I want
Is to be with you.

I don't want just anyone.
I didn't get together with you because I wanted a boyfriend,
I did it because I wanted you
And you alone.
But I guess you didn't feel the same...

Now that you're really gone,
Everyone will expect me to just move on.
They'll tell me that I'll find someone "better"
And you won't matter anymore.
But that's not what it's about;
For me at least.
THAT'S NOT WHAT IT'S ABOUT.

Why can't you understand,
I still love you,
I always will.
You're more than just some high school boyfriend;
You mean so much more than that to me.
Though it may sound silly, I wanted to be with you forever.
I still do.
And now the thought of calling you my ex-boyfriend makes me want to vomit.
