Irony

He's everything you wouldn't be and even more you weren't capable of. I laugh to think that I thought I needed your love. I remember how it felt. Sitting by my phone, hoping your name would appear. Wishing our plans weren't always so unclear. He never makes me wonder As his hands slide softly through my hair, Tightly around my body, I know he wants to be there. His words even match the look in his eyes. He laughs gently when his sweetness takes me by surprise. It amazes me to think that he is here everyday, His words matching actions so completely. He never hesitates to remind me he'll stay. My only regret is that he has to cope with every rip and tear, That I've been left with by every bad decision, broken promise, believed lie Calling me Perfection, even this he'll bear. You were aware of how I felt, every hurt you clawed. (I won't blame you completely. God knows I should've ran.) And still you called me Too good, but saw me only flawed... Do you remember predicting that one day I would be happy? You said I would find exactly what lays beside me every night. But you weren't relieved for me. You were nasty.
