tonight I am at home
thinkin' bout' you
yeah, we don't talk anymore
but I hope you're doing alright
I remember the day we first met
funny really,
we both had sinus infections
in the nurses office, miserable
I recall thinking to myself "I've heard rumors about that kid, he's cute but I should stay away"
I fell into the trap of your gleaming smile
we exchanged numbers right then and there, in front of the nurse
ahh, I was so happy
but that was the beginning
1 year, 5 months ago
I'm not happy anymore
when I was a young girl, about 7, I fell out of the tree in front of my house
I swear I broke my heart at the time
I came crying to my mother
she whipped off my tears with her thumb and said
"baby girl, your ribs are there to protect your heart. you're gonna be just fine."
turns out your ribs break pretty easily
the moment you meet a beautiful boy
in the nurses office
the lies he told me
they rolled off his tongue like it was second nature
deep down inside he knew
it wouldn't last
he avoided the words "always, forever"
as I remember, as he would say
"a long time"
you made me feel special
the typical "good morning gorgeous" texts
yeah, I'm ashamed
I fell into that trap too
one night
I recall like it was yesterday
it was over
you left me on the side of the road
crying
nah, I'm not over you
you got a new girl now
"3 months strong" she says
I just hope
she doesn't fall into the trap of your
beautiful brown eyes
