Moving On, Running Away.

Ah, I see you have
moved on.
To another girl who
will fall desperately at
your feet.
But that's just what you want now
Isn't it?

To be adored by so many girls,
have them all love you,
flirt with them,
and make them feel special.
But then the next day
after they think they are in love,
you let them go without
a care in the world.
It's a routine
And I've memorized it by heart.

So every time I see a
new girl with you,
I think to myself:
Give her 48 hours
And she'll be old news.
Nevertheless heart broken.
You are so good at breaking
Girl's hearts.

I was just like them too.
Falling in love with you a
Little more each day.
Thinking: Give him time,
We'll be together soon.
I wasn't so lucky.

You flirted with me for awhile
And honest to God,
I thought you loved me too.

But then you must have forgotten
About me and focused all your
attention on her.
I thought, maybe if i talk to him
he'll talk back and it will be just like
Yesterday.
My mistake.

I sat by you and said hey.
You said hi back and I'm thinking
So he DOES know me still.
Nope.
You go right to that other girl.
So I asked him what was up.
He says nothing, then writes a note.
I think that it's for me.
Wrong.

It's to that other girl.
She reads it,
giggles and nods.
I peek over and read the note.
My heart was torn.
He asked her out.
Not me,
her.

So I look at him
and say, "Didn't you
like me?"
He turns around and looks me straight
in the eye:
"No."

I was heart broken.
My eyes welt up with tears,
my nose began to run,
And my heart was thumping
so loud I could hear it through
my ears.
"No,"

I get up and walk out of the classroom.
I know I hear people yelling my name
and asking where I am going.
But I don't care.

Before I know it,
I'm running with tears sliding down my cheeks.
"It's over,"
I tell myself again and again.
"Oh, heck, it never started."

After that, I thought I could never
love someone again.
But really, that wasn't true.
Just because some guy
dumped me off doesn't mean
that I couldn't love.

So now as I watch you with
all those other girls,
hoping they could date him,
pretending to be someone they aren't,
I look at myself and think,
"I'm OK with me.
I'm not going to pretend for someone
Who will never love me."

And that is 100% true.
Because just like you,
I have moved on too.
