She was the one
she was everything
you keep her old pictures
you keep her old letters
you don't show it
but I know the pain she caused you
How can I be angry with you
because you still love her?
I am just a replacement
A temporary setting
Nothing special
Not the one
Its OK though.
I never am
I'm never the special one
Just another one
I don't hate you for it
In fact I love you for it
I love how much you loved her
I love knowing your heart is that big
But then I saw
You looked at me
You saw what lied behind my eyes
Love.
Love for you
you realized how much I care
And started to care back...
But no matter how much I love you ,
I will always be a second choice
Author notes
3. i'll always be your second choice, no matter how much i love you

wow i really like it. it fits perfectly with the prompt! the only thing i would say is maybe develop the part where he realizes that you love him. the part "you realized how much i care and started to care back" makes it seem like you aren't his second, that he's putting you first. if that is then great! just develop it more if you can.
