One Day Soon...

I guess one of these days I am going to thank you.

I am not gonna hurt as much as I do right now,

Not gonna want to just give up on people completely.

I won’t sit hear and wish you were here,

I won’t feel so alone without you here.

One day, I am not going to worry about you dying.

Or laying somewhere hurt, losing control.

One of these days, I may not even think about you at all.

There will come a time when the pain won’t be so fresh.

Although I feel that I am never gonna feel secure.

It is not just you and it is not just your fault.

That I feel so repulsive, undesirable only a mere annoyance.

Because for once I just wanted to be beautiful enough,

Smart enough, fun enough.

For once I just wanted to be enough.

If only the damage done before you didn’t destroy me.

Didn’t just leave me here too broken for anyone to handle.

For now I just don’t think I will ever be good enough,

sane enough, desirable enough, attractive enough, clean enough.

For now I assume I will never be happy enough.

It is funny how only a day or two ago,

we sat in a room with friends.

They said countless times how they wish they had a girlfriend like me.

Isn’t it funny, that you have me and I am the absolute last thing you want.

 

One day soon I am gonna start moving on,

Someone else will make me smile.

Someone else will make me giggle when they aren’t there,

Just like you did.

One day soon maybe I will understand

Why you hit on every one of my friends in a room,

Why you flirt with every girl you see.

Except for me of course,

I am hoping that after you are gone,

So will the way you can make me feel invisible

In a room, watching you try to be with anyone but me.

Maybe one day I will be able to feel like I am the only one.

The only one that someone wants,

The way I had started to feel about you.

Maybe one day I am gonna be the first thing that you see when in a room.

Maybe one day you will want me back,

You will regret what you said,

Or you will regret what you did.

Or what you didn’t do .

 

In time, I will move on and I will wish you away.

As hard as I wish you were here trying for me now.

 

One day I will be okay, or I won’t be

One day you will be okay, or you won’t be.

Maybe tomorrow you will sober up and you will apologize.

You will come here and you will actually try.

maybe I am just holding onto a pipedream,

but don’t worry though I am letting you go.

And the only thing that would change the ending where we part ways is you.

I know that this is far fetched and I am in a fairy tale land.

Right now though, just to not have my self esteem crumble

and to not have my heart break, and to not wish myself into someone else.

I will hold on the to the fairy tale.

And I will hold onto the knowledge that one day,

you will just be a memory.
