Hello Justin,  I

Hello Justin, 

 I have had a couple of things in my mind

I thought you knew, but you seem to be blind

We were friends, I thought

We are friends you said

But you were just being kind

I followed you all around the fields

Hoping one day you'd see me and feel

What I felt for you for the longest time

But now I feel as if I commited a crime

For I was not the girl you dreamed of

Or the one you longed for,

But you were the boy I dreamed of

The man I dreamed of.

The man I wanted.

The man I longed for.

But that all doesnt matter anymore

You're with her

And I am alone.

 

My father warned me about you

But I didnt listen

I thought I knew you

But I just knew the version you wanted me to see

You lied to me

No, you are lying to her

You did dream of me

But my eyes were hers

You thought you wanted her.

You chose her because you thought you wanted her

But you really wanted me

Isn't that the biggest irony?

I don't really care anymore

You left me stranded at your door

I called and called

But you ignored it all

I tried and tried

I sometimes even cried

But I will miss you

Not your romantic self

Your friendship

Because the day you gave up on me

Was the day that I realised

That I was finally free. 

 

Yours truly,

                   -A
