I have never been the girl you fall in love with

Over the years I’ve won gold for being
1. the girl you bring home to your parents
2. the girl that takes care of you when you’re drunk
3. the girl that hollows herself out for you and carries you in her lungs until you feel better again
but I have never been the object of your affection
nobody has ever looked at me and thought
“that’s the girl I’m going to fall in love with”

I’m perpetually the last one picked for kickball
but instead of picking teams you’re picking your future
and instead of kickball it’s your heart
but I’ve never been good at sports
so it makes sense why I’m picked last every time
who falls in love with a girl
that can’t even be trusted to play kickball?

My heart comes with a money back guarantee
if you’re not satisfied you can return it to me in 30 days
I ask that it’s returned in its original condition
but I’m a sucker for keeping people happy
so I’ll accept it broken with a smile on my face
and give you back every penny
so you can find one more worthy of your money
