Ballad

I watch her as she talks to her friend my love
I watch every flicker of emotions on her face
Until I can't look anymore
And I turn away

I wait outside
The roses in my hand limping
I wait for the girls to come out
And as I wait I remember
Things I'm trying hard to forget

Simple things, stupid things

That you liked the weeds I collected for you
And insisted I ruin your hair with it
So I made my queen a crown
The only one I could give then
I still remember the heartbreaking smile you gave me
The one that had fixed a piece of my heart that I had deemed beyond repair among many others

You were scared the world would tear us apart
but
It was not the world who did that
No it was you

You were now out my love with your friend
And my breath still catches as I look at you
I can see the whimpers of your lips as you straighten them into a luminant smile

You hope to get the forgiveness
Do you really regret your lies
I don't know
I don't want to know

You make a sweet pair, you say
as if it pains you

Your friend may not notice
But I do

I can remember the girl who dipped her legs in the water
Watched the ripples for hours
In silence
As the sun kissed her skin
I wish I did

I still remember how you posed for my camera
But pictures can never do you justice
They cant capture
What makes you you

I remember how I'd taught you to swim
How those dainty arms had clinged scared to drown
Oh how
I wish they still did

I remember how you would shy away from my gaze
And yet how your eyes had such intensity
As if you didn't see my body but my soul

I remember how you had shied away from the first compliment I'd gifted you with

I had called you beautiful

I know what you are thinking as I hold her hand
And hand her those expensive overrated flowers
Flowers I knew you disliked

As I look at you
I can sense the questions you must be asking yourself
That I must have called her beautiful too
But my love I didn't

I know you fear my words were hollow lies
That @ you abandoned I think of you as nothing but cruel

But you are the most beautiful
Even if you always believe otherwise
Something I promise
I'll convince you
One day

Before the day you left me I thought I couldn't possibly love
you more
But I swear
I did
I swear
I do

I see the pain in your eyes
But
I say nothing

I walk her back your friend
into her house
She kisses me goodbye
I still wish it was you
But then I always do

She Invities me inside
But all I can think is
She doesn't smell of rainforests like you did
She doesn't taste like honey

I see you after a month
In a ball gown standing all by yourself
You keep searching for something
Someone
Alone in a corner

But you forced me to be somebody else's prince
Tell me how can I save you now

I see your hair cascade like waterfalls and your lips are painted red
Your eyes look like chocolate diamonds against the backdrop of sand
