Choose Me
A surprise competition.
Why do I decide to lose?
I remove myself from the situation
And see she's who he should choose.
She's beautiful,
Good,
The same age;
Shared childhoods.
She's the one Mom loves
The girl to keep her son at home
I'd be fine with the above
Except his heart also sings her hum.
What a story they'd retell
With me a minor character,
A rising action,
An unintentional match-maker.
My life about to fork.
From a hopeful, "Come with me."
To a plot-twisting,
"Go pursue her."
I'm grappling with insecurities
Wanting all of him to love me.
His mother and his memories
Are pulling at his strings.
But he's not budging.
He's here holding me.
Tell me this isn't temporary.
I need him to choose me--
Over and over
I can't share him with her.
