“Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.” Albert Einstein


As you chastise girls with your boyish charm,
I try to stay away from more of your harm.
I deeply covet and yearn for you,
I secretly wish you'd feel the same way too.

You make me feel confused and insecure,
but that is just me being highly immature.
I don't feel like the blithe individual I used to be,
I really miss being the old me.

As you pursue other girls,
my stomach will be filled with confusing twirls.
I hate being so envious,
it makes me feel so devious.
I want you to be with me,
but we just can't let that be.

Why can't we let that be?
Oh, let's just see.
I realized while you were busy flirting with my friends,
that my perspective of you really depends.
Why would I waste my time with someone like you?
I finally got the clue!

You clearly don't know how to treat me.
In your life I should be the Queen Bee.
I deserve better than what you have to offer.
So, why should I even bother?
You're not meant for me and I am not meant for you,
there is nothing else that we can do.

So, let's part our ways,
and forget these days.
I'm ready to move on.
Soon you'll realize what you missed while I'm gone.


The author's comments:
Have you ever felt that you absolutely loved someone so much? That you would do anything for them? They are your other half, the absolute perfection, your perfect soul mate? But then one day, you start acknowledging that they pretty much don't treat you the way you should. That instead of following what they say, they do something that completely contradicts it? "Oh, I love and only want you." The next day, their flirting with some random.
So you finally realized you deserved better. That you do not need some individual to treat you less than what you are. They should be grateful that they even got to be with you. You are you. You are amazing, and they will surely regret their decision one day.
