I loved you for so long.

I tried to be so strong.

I know I did everything wrong,

I just hoped someday you’d see me standing there.

I tried to be your best friend.

I listened to you talk about them,

knowing they would hurt you in the end

but not knowing how to say that to you.

I loved you as you once were

before you ever met her

before she caused you such hurt

that you couldn’t stand to be yourself anymore.

I hated her for what she did.

Though she and I were once friends

her cruelty I could never forgive.

How could she hurt someone as selfless as you?

I knew that she would break your heart,

smash it to a million tiny shards.

That was clear right from the start,

and still I stayed to help you sweep up the pieces.

Even after all that pain

and all her little childish games

you still loved her just the same

and you gave up yourself to get someone like her.

You changed the person I cared for

to make all those pretty girls want you more.

The one you’ve found is beautiful of course.

I’m sure all your friends will envy you now.

You always wanted those girls

who were coveted by the whole world

the ones made of diamonds and pearls.

How could I have thought you would ever want me?

I hope that you are happy now

with the brand new life you have found

and I hope that you will figure out

how to have all the things that you've always wanted.
