Somebody Else

I think what scares me the most is the thought that you'll find someone better someday.

The thought that you'll get tired of my vanilla smell and start looking for cinnamon,

The thought that you'll not want the blonde anymore and start looking for the dark,

The thought that my jokes will no longer make you laugh like they do, and you'll go looking for ones that do.

Maybe my beauty won't stand a chance against that of another person, maybe my smile won't shine as bright anymore.

Maybe I won't be the one you look forward to being with forever someday,
Maybe you'll want to share your life with someone else who makes you happier than I ever did.

The thought that scares me most is the ones that say I won't be the contents of your dreams anymore,
That the stars would receive wishes every night for someone new,
That every time you think of love, you'll see a new her with a new body with a new glow.

It scares me that someday you may decide that there are better people you'd rather share your time with. Better people to write songs about and sing them to, better people to put your hopes into.

I just hope that this version of someday never comes.
Hope that you'll always choose me,
Hope that I'll always be enough.
Hope that hope matters.
Hope.
