There's something I need to tell you, my love

I don't love you anymore 

You never valued my love

Our first official date watching the fireworks on the 4th of July

I used to think that you were worthy, but you're not 

I've found someone who is 

Someone who lights my darkest nights

Who gives me hope

 

You'd like to know who it is, wouldn't you?

Because I know you still care, you told me yourself you did 

I'm tempted to tell you 

To make you feel an ounce of what you put me through 

But I won't 

Because you have to live with it

The fact that we both have known

Even from the start of this

The fact that I'm better than you

 

I hope you're happy

I truly do

Because I don't think about you anymore

You don't poison my thoughts as you once did

My new firework does

But I find myself asking the same question with her as I once did with you

Am I enough?

I hope I am

 

This girl deserves more than me 

Those that have tried before me are better men than I

So why would she choose me?

I asked myself that when you chose me 

Eventually she'll face that choice

But I'm not that worried 

You know what they say

History tends to repeat itself...

True story, but this one is dedicated to my new, nameless firework. Thank you for lighting my darkest nights, I just wish I could tell you that you do.
