Not the one

Don't tell me you love me.
Don't tell me you need me. 
Don't tell me I'm the one. 

Because I'm not.

I'm not the one you will end up with.
I'm not the one you will create a future with.
I'm not the one.

Don't make me promises neither of us can keep.
Don't send me meaningful texts at 3AM that I won't see until the when I wake up.
Don't tell me I'm the one.

Because I'm not.

Don't plan our future.
Don't ignore other girls.
Don't change yourself for me.

You will find beautiful love after me.
You will find someone after me.
And you may find someone after them too.

One day we will be nothing more than a memory to remember.
One day I will think of you and smile at our youthful love.
One day we will forget each other's middle names.

So let me help you know.
Let me help you discover who you are.
Let me help you discover who you want to be.

Because I'm not the one

Let us live this life.
Let us learn within this life.

Let us make our mistakes so we know.

Because I'm not the one.





Just my thought on teenage romances.
