Crushed

You were the only thing I cared about for three years.
The first time I met you, everything else seemed to disappear.
Your hair and your bright blues eyes lit up the world like a star in the sky.
My heart thumped when you were by my side.
I never wanted you to leave, I wanted you to stay.
But all you thought of was getting your way.
I let it happen because I just wanted you to be happy.
I put myself through hell and years of your taunting.
You treated me like shit and you didn't even know it.
You texted me and led me on even though you denied it.
Fuck you and fuck your girlfriend.
It's okay, I wasn't even that important.
You weren't a big deal to me either.
You were my first real crush but why would that matter?
You got me through a lot but you were the one that put me there, now that I remember.
I had to push myself forward.
I had to pretend like I wasn't going backward.
You tore me apart and it still makes me bitter.
We're friends now but I won't forget.
And even though you were shitty, I'll still forgive.
