Cheater
I've waited for him to sleep
just to have a few minutes alone
so I could hear the softness in your voice
while you whispered over the phone.
I've waited up for you
well into the deepness of the night
so you could cry on my shoulder
when he would cause a fight.
I've waited for the day
he stopped knowing I was your friend.
I so badly wanted to tell him
that I've been in his bed.
I've waited for the day
you and I could stop the secrets.
It was thrilling at first
like winning you was an achievement.
But you're not a prize;
you're human, like him.
So I said goodbye to both of you,
letting everyone win.
