“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'”

Why can't I have him?
i liked him first.
she knew
exactly how i felt and she
just toke him from me.
i can't stand this feeling
of knowing that
she has him and i don't
it hurts really badly.
i feel broken inside,
hurt that this was
done by a best friend.
feeling betrayed
by two people i cared about
dying for him to be with me.
she says she's sorry
aboout how this all happened
when all she really means is
ha i have him and you dont
i have all this anger and
i dont know how to control it.
i want to forgive her
but i just cant
i said this wouldnt happen
but it did
i let the jealousy get to me.
