What do I miss? Walking home and you ask me what can I hold.
I say thank you but I’m good, so you hold my hand until we get home.
It’s familiar, it’s routine, but it’s only for you and me.
Good looks and isolation, humor and manipulation
Charm and desperation, stupid infatuation.
This is not a love worth pining for,
I wanted strength you wanted malleable.
Between you and your platitudes and me and my attitude
the disparities finally caught up with us.
It could be worse, but it hurts. What once was our thing is now yours and hers.
I feel stupid, I believed someone would love me wholeheartedly.
Someday I hope you love someone as much as you thought you loved me.
All of the time wasted on banal conversation,
the dramatic negotiations and empty accusations.
No longer complacent in this situation with all your expectations sorry if I leave before the standing ovation.
