she’s the closest thing i can call home,
she’s the closest thing i can call a sister,
every time i need someone to talk to,
she’s the best listener,

i haven’t known her all my life,
though it feels like i have,
like a sister the universe picked for me,
someone who’s always there to have my back,

she’s the calm in every storm,
she’s the anchor when i drift,
even when nights are long,
i know she’s here through the rift,

i love her with my whole heart;
she doesn’t even know
that without her being here,
i wouldn’t even show,

life without her sounds like hell,
when i’m around her, i don’t need a shell,
through every up and every low,
she’s the reason i still glow,

she knows me better than i know myself,
it’s her and me in it together,
just being our true selves.

i used to wish upon everything for you
a shooting star
11:11
candles
a dandelion
a well

well, all for what
for you to leave me for her
like nothing we had was worth it
it wasn’t enough for you

everything you told me
“i’ll never leave you”
“forever?”
“i’m all in”

was it all a lie
was it just a joke to you
am i really that worthless
that you could just use me
until you got the girl you really wanted
was i nothing more than a silly little fling
something to pass by your time

but that’s weird
because you were
all i ever wanted

you were that sweet charming next door
neighbour who everyone loved

i loved you too
i gave you every piece of hope
like you were the only thing
worth wishing for
until i realized

i had wasted all my wishes on you.

i may look like i’m thriving
and i may look like i’m fine
but inside i’m dying
because you were never mine

sure, we were dating
but your heart was never in the right place
you waited and waited
and then i was immediately replaced

during that time of waiting
i stayed by your side
i knew we were over
before you even said goodbye

we ended on good terms
or at least so i thought
until i saw you unadded me
i guess you forgot

you forgot how much i needed you
and how you were my very first
funny how you thought
i was just someone to hurt

you had told me forever
but forever you forgot
so now i’m just a ghost
trapped in the pain you brought.
