10 Whole Years

10 years.

That's how long I've known you.

2 days.

That's how long you've known her.

I guess it was instantaneous.

You seem to have it figured out.

She's everything you've ever wanted,

Everything you've ever dreamed.

But when I hear those things,

My heart breaks,

Because I've loved you since day one,

But you never loved me back.

She is perfect.

I'm not.

She makes you happy.

I can't.

I know it's not your fault,

You can't control your feelings.

But it hurts to see how easy it is

For you to fall for her.

It makes me feel worthless.

Like I am just not good enough.

You guys are great together,

And I can see your finally happy.

But what did I do that was so wrong?

For a whole 10 years,

Your feelings never changed.

I'm just the annoying girl.

The girl who won't let go,

But it's really hard to just let go of something

You've held on to so tightly

For 10 whole years.
