Burn your bridge

Since the 26th of December,  you were thinking of me constantly it seemed.

You were constantly calling me, you were messaging me.

We spent almost two weeks together inseparable.

I fell for you I guess and it was all my fault.

You were with her when we met.

I guess I just believed you when you said that you wouldn't play me.

Maybe when I had asked you to not play me

And you said you never would, you were just high.

How did I not know that just three days ago,

That when you said you would catch me if I were to fall.

It was nothing more than a line.

My friends say I deserve more, and I am too good for you.

That you have too many problems, too many ghosts haunting you

But I don't feel like I am good enough for anyone at the moment.

I shouldn't have ever gone around you and I should haven't got lost in your eyes.

I should have taken the hint that it wasn't me that you wanted.

You made it clear in the nicest possible way.

I should have known better than that.

I still feel like crying though,

And I still miss you

And I still wish we could have been happy.

I wish I would have been what you wanted.

Good enough,  just once.

Oh well another lesson to learn

Another bridge I guess I will burn.
