How It Ends

For once I wish you could just notice me.
I've been watching you for the longest time,
But you seem too occupied to even see...
God, I made a mistake never letting you know.

I've been your friend since we met.
It hasn't been too long compared to most,
But I'm still happy we talked when we did.
Hell, it's not like I have any reason to boast.

I had been so happy at that time,
Not giving a care in the world to anyone else.
It was just you and me.
That's what I thought.
She liked you too, didn't she?

A stab in the heart,
A jolt of pain...
All it took was a mere second,
And my very soul was slain.

I felt like an idiot.
I couldn't believe what I had gone through for you.
And what made it worse is...
Is how I never confessed to you too.

It took me a while to get over it all.
It was like an angst storm in my head.
Goddamn it, it hurt just seeing you.
Yet, nothing was really ever said.

We still talk, you should know.
I often see you with her, happy.
Yeah, I try to hold up a strong facade.
This whole thing seems a little sappy...

So, I've finally broken away.
I no longer feel like I'm deeply wounded.
It's nice, not having to worry about that kind of thing.
I feel like I've been granted my freedom.

When you have finally gained some sense, then okay.
They say teen love never lasts,
And I happen to agree.
Soon, I know, you two will be apart in two big blasts.

You'll come to me, like you did to her.
One more chance, you ask.
I laugh, and can't help to feel a little smuger.
You had your chance, I'd say, but you wasted it.
I'm over you now.
