My Unfortunate Cliché
We can never help but wonder
About the one who got away
Let’s start this story back
To when we fatefully met one day
I wanted you from second one
When our eyes first met at the homecoming dance
I wished with all my might that you liked me
Praying on that chance
I couldn’t tell anyone
That you were my new crush
So I kept it my little secret
With a quiet “hush hush”
The year went by
And things went wrong
You dated one of my good friends
And I played along
Secretly envying her
Every time you held her hand
Wishing you knew how I felt inside
But how could you understand?
And finally the day came
When your relationship came to an end
And then you began to like me
But I said “we are just friends”
I wouldn’t let you in
For fear of getting hurt
So I buried all I felt
Into my best friends shirt
I cried for hours
Over the chance I threw away
Even though I knew there was a spark inside both of us
That was here to stay
And although I still felt that spark,
I had gotten a new beau
One that made me happy
But some of that happiness was just for show
The rest of the year passed on
And school was out for summer
And unfortunately I was now single
Which was a bit of a bummer
We stayed in touch
Through my new unlimited texting plan
One which both you and I
Were most definitely fans
Cuz one silly smile :P
Could be sent back and forth for hours
Resulting in many “haha”s and “lol”s
And “zaha” which was the choice of ours
And then the fateful day came
When you asked me who I liked
I had you answer me your same question first
Waiting for your response to which I was super psyched
You answered another girl’s name
And all my excitement completely shattered
Of course I wanted to hear my name
So we could live happily ever after
But that’s not the case
I guess we aren’t meant to be
I’ll love you forever
But you’ll never see
You will always be the one
My unfortunate cliché
Forever known as
“The one who got away”
