Some Other Guy

For a contest!*

You could have had me
If you'd wanted to try.
But you lost it all
When love you denied.

A single red rose
With a three word letter,
A candlelit dinner
Would have been better.

A conversation lasting
More than five minutes.
A happy moment
With both of us in it.

You proved your lack
Of love for my heart
When you tore it to pieces
Then left all the parts.

It took the infatuation
To really pass away
So my dimmed eyes
Could see the light of day.

Anyone else could
Take my breath away
By whispering things
You never thought to say.

They would tell a joke
Just to see my smile
And to have my heart
Walk the extra mile.

It wouldn't be hard
To outdo your best try
I could have twice the love
From some other guy.
