We could talk for hours on end each day,
I guess that’s what made me believe you felt the same way.
Well that and every act of kindness you showed me,
I guess looks aren’t the only thing that can be deceiving.

I watched as you walked by Atleast you spare me a glance,
For me it was more than that, it left me in a trance.
It happened so fast it had to be beginners luck,
Until I realized Cupid had one arrow left and unfortunately I was the one struck.

It didn’t take much time to realize you weren’t “the one”
but who IS “the one”
where is “the one”
What’s taking “the one so long”
I’m tired waiting and lying to myself I’m strong.

Don’t misquote me I don’t need a man to exist,
but it wouldn’t be bad either to finally be the first on someone’s list.
Would I continue to let myself believe I am truly wanted,
All in the name of “what if he left me cause I relented?”

A shower of disdain
I felt insane
I no longer controlled what was going on in my brain
Is this what it felt like, the power to be drawn,
Only to hear he was moving on,
It was like uno to him, I hope he had fun cause when he reversed, I was realized we were never each other’s “the one”
