He likes you?
Great, he has money.
He's handsome,
he's nice,
he's cute and pretty.
What else?
I don't need to know if he's famous.
Oh, he's a family man!

What's in it for me?
Why are you telling me these?
You want to be with him?
Then go.
It's not my fault everyone looks way better than me.*

*I never told you he's better.
I only said he seems perfect,
but not for me.
I only said he has a little crush,
but did I tell you that it's mutual?
I informed you because I want to be honest.
I never told you he's better.
I want you to be jealous.
I want you to fight for me.
Why are you giving me up for someone else's love?

I remember thinking
how hard could it be?
It could be reckless
It could be magical
It could be mischievous
It could be lyrical
But whatever happens in a day,
doesn't stay in a day.
It goes on forever,
bad or good,
the memories stay with me.
Anyone around me
could easily learn
how to vaporize those thoughts
and move on,
maybe even forget.
Apart from me.
I never do.

I remember saying
maybe this is it.
This is the one for me.

Until reality hits me;
whether I am 12, 14 or 30,
I will find someone
who will light a fire in me,
but they cannot burn forever.
You see, somehow,
I still believe in that word -
Forever.
I still hope for that flawless spark.

What a flabbergast, huh?
That I am, once again,
alone tonight.
If you think you have been good, then you deserve the best. Have a splendid new year, everyone.

He cheers me up,
he makes me happy
and when you're not here,
he tells me he loves me.

*He loves me.
He loves me a lot.
He loves me.
He loves me even more.
You're clearly tipsy.
