You decided to find someone better,
My stomach drops before I've even met her.
I bet she stands as tall as the redwood trees,
with just the right amount of confidence and ease.
I knew I was never your first choice,
but I've always hoped you would hear my voice.
It's a voice so soft, with a message so heavy,
and the weight of this message leaves the grave as my levee.

levee - a landing place; a quay.
