It’s Over, But Your Heart Wasn’t Ready

We knew this day would come. You knew you wouldn’t be relevant forever, that eventually, he would move on and put someone else’s feelings before yours.

But you didn’t know it would be before you had moved on, though.

You didn’t think you’d still be here holding on, still caring.

 

So maybe at first, it’s easy to downplay their relationship.

It can’t mean as much as yours did. They won’t share the laughs and the memories that you two had, you had something special.

And maybe you did, maybe he is the guy that changed your perspective on love and life and taught you lessons you didn’t know you needed to learn.

He was the last thing you thought about at night, filled your head with the perfect dreams that made it hard to get out of bed and face the world… for a while.

 

But you know it didn’t stay that way forever. You know there were reasons you didn’t work out.

And although you’re only focused on the positives right now, there were plenty of negatives.

You may have had something special, something so unique it cannot be remade, but then again, maybe it shouldn’t be.

You know that if he’s the decent guy you’ve always thought he was; he’d put her feelings first.

But it’s you, you thought you’d always be the exception to any rule he ever made. And that’s what hurts, she is now the rule and exception.

She took the place you once stood, and that’s what makes you insecure, what you thought was your territory, you have now become a trespasser in.
