Oct 2011
He looks back at you from two desks over
Your heartbeat skyrockets as he takes in your tear-filled eyes
You feel so vulnerable
You hold each other's gaze
There's no need to look at the front of the classroom
But I wish I could've warned you
You should've looked away.
You shouldn't have said anything that next day
You shouldn't have given him your number
And for God's sake, you shouldn't have fallen in love.
I ask, why did it happen so easily?
It's been eight months since then.
Why couldn't you have walked away?
He tricked you
He danced with you
He kissed you
He played the piano for you.
He was sweet
And you fell for it.
I wish I could've warned you
You should've realized
When he wouldn't hold your hand
What he was worth
When he found another girl so quickly
What you didn't mean to him
You were so in love...
And so heartbroken...
I wish I could've warned you
You should've let him go
You shouldn't have let yourself become his "second best"
His other girl
You should be shamed
You should regret it
But you didn't
And you still don't
The only thing you do anymore
Is wish he'd talk to you more often
Wish he'd kiss you again
Wish he'd pretend to like you
Like he pretended before
I'm warning you now
Though I know you won't listen
You know who he is and what he does
But you still won't listen to me
Because you love him anyways still
But if that's true,
Why do you feel so conflicted?
Why do you cry over him so often?
You always blame yourself
But you shouldn't because
He didn't come with a warning.
