I thought I'd be the one to end it
That it wouldn't be you that'll break my heart
But that nine worded text you sent me
Shattered it to crumbs of glass, tore me apart.
You were the one with sweaty palms at our first meeting
Your shaky voice trapped my mind
But now it is me that sits here weeping
The night reminding me that I was blind
You expected rejection when you confessed,
Expected me to depart
But it is me now comparing myself to her,
the one that caught your heart
tightly within her grip
as she snatched it from my loose grasp
I never knew your worth
until you left, until I saw you last
