Darling, You Can Do So Much Better.
You're blown away by other people and how they look.
Like a gust of wind strong enough to take you down with it, you stare.
Despite everything in your mind telling you to look away, you don't.
You stare and stare, daydreaming about what could have been, what SHOULD have been,
But, sadly, it isn't.
And, in all honesty, it won't ever be,.
Oh, but don't let this stop you.
You go ahead and stare, you walk right up to the person who denied you your right to love and you prove to them that their denial only made you stronger.
Prove to them that they are the rock keeping down the balloon,
Prove to them that they are the time that is keeping the sun from the moon.
Show them that you don't need them but that they need you,
Because Darling, you can do so much better.
Don't settle for that boy with the devilish looks, the voice of a python and the breath of the last cigarette between his teeth,
Settle for the one who loves you, in and out of the sheets.
Love the one who shows you to the world in a glass case,
The one who prides himself on the fact that you two are inseparable because you two were a match made in heaven.
Walk away from the one who kisses you in the spots he knows his girlfriend would like,
Walk away from the one who talks smoothly because he has talked to every other girl in the school,.
Because Darling, you can do so much better.
And they can deserve so much worse
