i guess we won't be skyping anymore
I see you walking down the hall
I stop and wonder if I should say hi
Because we used to be so close
I round the corner to see you with her
Kissing, hugging, laughing
It hurts more than I will admit
I turn away and quickly hurry the opposite direction
I run down the stairs
With my heart aching ever so slightly
Knowing that you will never hold me like that and I think
Why couldn't he have wanted me?
Is there something wrong with me?
I think over and over
Was I too clingy?
Did I do something to make him mad?
And I wonder
What makes her so special?
What makes her better than me?
Everyday I pass by his locker I see him and I linger
Wondering if I should wave or keep walking
Sometimes I wave
Sometimes I don't
I see them at lunch,
Sitting together and holding hands
I turn away and try to distract myself, but I never can and I think
Why couldn't he have wanted me?
Is there something wrong with me?
I think over and over
Was I too clingy?
Did I do something to make him mad?
And I wonder
What makes her so special?
What makes her better than me?
Everyone thinks of us as best friends who drifted apart
They will never know the truth
He will never know
So when he says hi to me,
I smile and ignore the way his eyes light up when he laughs
I ignore the way his laugh makes my heart melt
Instead I smile and nod
Quickly walking away before he notices and I think
Why couldn't he have wanted me?
Is there something wrong with me?
I think over and over
Was I too clingy?
Did I do something to make him mad?
And I wonder
Will this ever end?
