Just a Little Bit of Your Heart

Bridge

I know I'm not your only

But at least I'm one

I heard a little love is better than none

We spent less and less time together as the months went by. We would always be with people, whether it was her or just your other friends. It was never just me and you. I didn't want to like her, but it was hard not to. She was perfect, everyone loved her. I secretly hoped you would break up with her but when you had dinner with your family I knew it was serious. I was the only other girl you introduced to your family, except you said I was your good friend. Your mother guessed I was in love with you a year into being friends. She said no one has ever looked at my son like that. I smiled and she told me you would fall in love with me someday. She was wrong. You asked her to marry you yesterday. You invited everyone over to your place not telling anyone why. In the beginning of the night you brought me to your room. It was the first time we had been alone in what felt like forever. You sat me down on your bed and took out a small box. You told me you were planning to prepose to her at dinner. You asked me if that was something girls like. I nodded and you gave me a hug. You told me you loved me and you went back downstairs. I stayed in your bed for awhile trying not to cry. I let a few tears fall down my face before joining everyone downstairs. We sat down with both of your families and friends. Your mother kept giving me looks throughout dinner, she knew I was upset. You used to know when I was upset, until the only person you payed attention to was her. I ate quietly, trying not to think of how much will change with just one question. I had no family, I had no friends except you. Halfway through dessert you got everyone's attention. I gripped my glass tighter with anticipation. You thanked everyone for coming and then you got down on one knee. You started a speech of how much you loved her but I don't remember much. All I remember was the tears silently running down my face as I stared at my lap. No one noticed because all the attention was on you and her. I kept hearing the way you said I love you to me and then the way you said I love you to her. I know I'm not your only but at least I'm one. I heard a little love is better than none.
