A year ago
You said I was your valentine
You didn't even say it in a cute way
But just the fact that you said something like that
Well
my heart flew

it's hard being the girl who grows up never loved
Never noticed
partially because I hid
Because I didn't want to be hurt

So, after your casual invitation
My heart ran to you
Defending every thoughtless comment

Starved
Craving what you could offer

Just someone who thought I was beautiful

Someone who really wanted to know me

I wonder how many girls fancied themselves your valentine that day
Just a side glance into your twinkling eyes
was enough to push me over the edge

I let myself think that those girls were chasing you
Never letting myself admit that you play emotions for fun
You like knowing you can make people love you
I think I knew that, even a year ago
Even as twitter-pated, I fell asleep, thinking about a man who was my valentine


One year later
Blocked you on facebook
blocked your number

Not that you ever tried to call

Just in case you ever care enough to look me up again
