To who I thought was the one
By Abi

Maybe one day
I will forget the day I met you
Maybe one day
I will forget every I love you
Every I miss you
And every good night
Maybe
I will forget
The way that you called me
What you called her
But maybe I won’t
And our long nights on the phone will be nothing
But a void
In your skeleton of memories
Maybe
Just because you say you will marry someone
And promise them the world
Does not mean anything
When you can’t even bridge the distance between Orlando and Miami
But just because you say “Babe, she doesn’t matter”
Doesn’t mean she’s not on your mind
And don’t call me crazy
Because we were once them
And don’t call me lazy
Because I dare not put myself through the misery
Of fighting for first place
And now every I love you
Will be part of a backseat conversation
And you’ll be buried in the trunk of my car
Where we looked at the stars and basically said our “I do’s”
And now what was once a fairytale story
Is a story that we mourn
Because our love died in my arms refusing to let go
I gave us CPR refusing to accept the death of our future
I tried so hard but who’s grave do I go visit when I miss you?
Because you’re not really dead
You just left without warning
Because after you said I will marry you one day
You said “I need time to think”
How the hell
Does someone go from making children with each other to
I hope you have a good life
But I do
I hope you have a good life
But just because
I wish nothing but the best for you
Does not mean I wasn’t the best for you
It means you weren’t the best for me
