i lost you on prom night.

I cried on your shoulder last night,
There's mascara all down your crisp white shirt.
You said you didn't love me any more.
And then you told me not to cry.
You said I was beautiful
But the tear marks were ruining my face.
You tried to refrain me from crying,
But you simply made it worse.
You held me.
Your strong arms enfolding me.
You led me into a false sense of security.
You said I was amazing.
But you no longer love me.

You told me to be strong,
Said I deserve to be happy.
But being with you
And hearing you say that  you love me,
Are the only things in this world
Capable of returning my smile to my face.

So don't say things
That are reserved for lovers,
Don't refer to me as beautiful.
And stop telling me that I'm perfect
The way I am.,
because I am obviously
not perfect for you.

I am going to be happy,
and I am going to be strong.
I will miss you.
But the pain will heal.
