Heard our song on the radio but there was something different about it. The happiness and unstoppable smile it used to bring to me has been replaced by regret and tears filling me from the inside out. I sit on the same bench we used to but now the space seems abundantly bigger next to me. Our friends keep telling me about how great you're doing and I want to mean it when I say I'm happy for you but I just can't help but wish it was me. Every time I hear your name it's like another piece of my heart chips off and falls to be dissolved by the acids within my stomach. I was young, I was dumb and I never realized just how much better I could've treated you when I thought I was treating you like a princess. My pride and ego never let me see just how unhappy you really were. I thought just because my mind told me we were happy that there was no way it wasn't true. Never saw just how selfish I was really being when we were together or how you wanted something more serious than I was ready for. I never should've let an amazing woman like you walk out of my life. I should've done whatever it took to make you stay. Now it's too late and I'll never get the chance to make it up and to and to fix the mistakes I made. You're all I can see when I close my eyes, haunting me in the back of my mind. It may hurt but I'll be the first one to admit I was wrong when it came to you. I know it's way too late to apologize for the mess I made. I just want you to know I hope he buys you the things you deserve, I hope he holds you close as you walk together to show everyone just how proud he is that you're his. Spends every second he can with you so you never have to feel alone. Takes you out every chance he gets because I remember how much you love to go out. I hope he does all of the things I should've done when you were mine.
