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.
