To the only person I've ever loved,
Happy wedding day.
I hope you're happy,
Everyone says you've changed.
We haven't talked since June,
Before I knew,
That you'd be getting married today.
I wonder if you ever think
About the eighteen year old girl,
You let fall in love with you.
I've seen you a couple times,
With a case of beer,
And that beard,
You knew I never liked.
People say you're drinking again,
I hope you're doing okay,
Even though I'm the only person
Who would still care about you
After the way you broke me.
Do you know how it feels,
To know I was someone's mistress
At only eighteen?
I hate you for making promises
You couldn't keep,
While all that time,
Your fiance was living in your apartment.
And now, everything,
From that Justin Timberlake song,
To vanilla iced coffee,
Is tainted with your name.
But guess what?
I met someone.
And every time I'm with him,
I wish you two could meet,
Because your approval
Is still important to me.
And even though I know
It's time to move on,
Nothing kills me more
Than to know
You only live a few miles away,
But we'll never talk again.
You even forgot my birthday this year.
You were the only person
Who knew everything about me.
You understood
How it feels to be drowning
Inside your own head.
You let me cry on your shoulder
When I thought I wanted to die,
And you promised
You'd always be by my side.
We'd get married,
I'd take your last name
(Which you thought sounded great).
We'd have two kids.
You were studying to be a lawyer,
But eventually, you wanted to be
A stay at home dad.
And now,
You'll have all of those things
Just not with me.
I'll never forget the last day,
You were in a hurry,
And as you ran out the door,
You hollered back at me,
"See you later, buttercup."
Little did I know,
Later meant six months,
And we'd never be together again.
I held onto hope,
Until that summer,
When your best friend told me,
You're getting married
In Jamaica
On October 28th.
I've never been the crying type,
But I cried for seven days straight.
You'd been engaged
For all of that time.
Everything was built on a lie.
I'll deny it to the end of the earth,
But, even now,
I still love you.
Happy wedding day.
