I'm his rebound love
He likes me but he wouldn't have chosen me
I'm good but not good enough
I'm the one he's looking at but not the one he sees
I'm the one he's with but not the one he wants
I picked up the pieces but he wants her to put him together again
I'm his rebound love
Waiting for her to take him away

When you left I didn't have a period for months
I thought I was pregnant
It turns out that trauma could do that to you
It's called secondary amenorrhea
But I call it mourning
I remember it as the time I missed you so much
Parts of my body gave up functioning without you
Now I see how people die of heartbreak

You'll never know about the light that died within me
After you left
You'll never know how many people tried to light up my future again
But my heart would not catch the fire they tried so hard to set

You're immature
Stubborn
And a quitter
Everything I didn't think you were
If I had seen these traits I would have turned my feet around the moment I met you

I kind of wish we argued
I wish that you were angry
That we stopped talking for days
On and off until we stopped for good
At least that way I would know what went wrong
At least that way I might have expected it
There's something about the sudden way you cut me off
That makes my heart not want to accept it
