Not Perfect
It is the morning drag
Another day alive
"I wish i was dead."
Puffing on a cigarette
staring blankly at the wisps of smoke
I wonder, "Where did I go wrong?"
Everything seemed perfect
Wrapped in his arms
Running around in our underwear
I would hold him against my skin
Never wanting to let go
Only wanting to feel his 5 o'clock shadow.
Days of laughter
Becomes weeks
Fights never lasted more than a day.
Everything seemed perfect
like a dream I've always wanted
My romantic comedy was real.
Then the rose colored glasses broke.
I saw the black and white
You saw everything wrong with us.
I took the heart emoji off his contact name
Packed memories in boxes
He took the final decision: "It's over."
Everything seemed so perfect
Until reality decided to play
And all the perfect moments forgotten.
