I always wanted you,
just you, nothing more,
nothing less.
I thought I loved you,
so I tried, to hold you closer,
hanging on too long.
After it all, I get it.
That ruby  red flag you've been waving,
I finally see.
So stay away!
I'm done now,
done faking it,
done hiding
ME!
You won't like what you see,
underneath it all
I DO love myself,
and respect,
my friend
was never on your top shelf.
I think it should be worse,
those feelings were love, true
but now I can't stand the thought of your voice,
your face, or that smirk
I couldn't imagine my life without you in it
or rather without who I thought you were,
but it's not like that now,
I feel nothing,
I did fall in love,
just not with the real you.
