She loved you to

Dear Jane Doe,

I saw that poem you wrote
the awful one to release your pain
about how I'm such a home wrecker
and your ex is stupid anyways.

I wasn't really impressed
because it's been written a million times.
"oh my boyfriend was cheating on me
with my best friend on the side.

Best friends was a little exaggerated.
although I don't deny we shared many days.
Don't say I don't know what you're going through
I've been through the same.

and although it's tragic and I'm guilty
I've said sorry a million times.
I don't expect your forgiveness
and I don't expect another try.

But I was there as well
and I was a victim to.
I chose not to fall in love
much less to the one with you.

This has happened many times.
It's not your fault, this wasn't planned
these words stumbled from his lips
praying that you'd understand.

but you walked away as of with dignity
trying not to let him see you cry.
Nothing could have prepared you
for the awkwardness and shame inside.

and you walked away from him
and marched right up to me.
"how could you have done this,
why couldn't you let us be?"

I couldn't come up with answers
no matter how hard I tried.
I never asked for this either,
I never meant to lie.

I hung my head down low
and wished you'd go away.
"how could you have done this?" you said?
"how could you do it to me?"

I thought of all the memories
and the bridge I burned goodbye.
I thought of the girl in front of me
still waiting for a reply.

"I love him" I told you.
"that's the best I can do
I love him, and he loves me,
although you loved him to."

So maybe I'm the other girl
and maybe you loved him first.
But the truth is that he loves me more
and sometimes, the truth hurts.

Xx it's not easy being the "other girl" especially when you hurt someone close to you.xX
