"It doesn't shock me that you chose her. she's prettier than me, smarter than me, not broken like me. Her smile is bright like the sun, her brown eyes are more beautiful than my dull ones, and her laugh is the melody of the most beautiful song I've ever heard. she's your favorite book, and i am just a page of it. she is the obvious choice.
I am happy for the two of you, honestly.
Sometimes I see you hold her, and it looks as if you're scared to let go. i see her smile up at you, and I can just tell that she is lost in your eyes. i'm glad that you found love.
it doesn't hurt that you chose her, but you wanna know what does? the fact that I almost had you. you almost loved me. you almost held me like that and I smile at you the way she does now. but nothing happened, and suddenly you're all I can think about, when to you I am just a distant memory."
