i loved you
i really loved you
but you loved him
you'd always loved him
i was your best friend
16 years
i'd been there for you when no one else was
do you remember when he hit you?
when he was too drunk to give a damn about you
i punched him
i want you to know that no matter how drunk i could be
i'd never hit you
you're always in my head
even when i'm full of alcohol
he said he hadn't realised who you were
what a dick
you cried that night
you told me that you didn't know what was wrong with you
you told me that you'd never loved someone as much as him
i said that i knew how you felt
i did
i'd never loved someone as much as you
everything about you was perfect
you were kind
you were smart
you were funny
but most of all
you were beautiful
we were 13 when i saw them
you were home alone so i decided to surprise you
i saw you through the window
earphones plugged in
hair in a messy bun
the perks of being a wallflower in your hands
you were wearing pyjama shorts and a vest which surprised me
you never seemed to expose any of your legs or arms
i soon found out why
you opened the door
a huge grin on our face
i playfully looked you up and down
my lips in a flirtatious smirk
and that's when i saw them
scars
