There’s always someone better—this truth I’ve come to know,
What one man passed on gladly, another will bestow.
He shrugged at things that made you bright, then walked away unkind;
But someone else will hold those sparks and keep them in his mind.

The quirks your ex called noisy, the stumbles that he feared,
Are treasures to a different heart that sees you, revered.
Where one man saw your edges, sharp and hard to tame,
Another sees the constellations written in your name.

Don’t be afraid to leave a love that lacks the light,
To trade safe compromises for someone who gets it right.
There’s courage in the leaving, a faith that won’t regret—
Because somewhere waits the person who loves you without debt.

So never settle smaller than the woman that you are,
You’re worth a thousand favors, not just one lukewarm star.
Hold out for the kind of love that lifts you when you fall—
There will always be a better one; you only have to call.
If they wanted to... they would.
