~ I'm fine ~

(Rhyming included)

I tell you I'm fine,
And lead you on with a smile,
But I've never been fine,
Not for a while.

I tell myself it's your fault,
But that's not entirely true,
I just wish you accepted your feelings,
And did what you had to do.

Because I know you love her,
It's pretty obvious to see,
And I understand why you need her,
She was everything I couldn't be.

She has the perfect personality,
And she gives you all her time,
But I just wanted to be happy as well,
Is that such a crime?

But if I'm going to be honest,
I'm not mad that you love her more,
But I just wish you told me bluntly.
So I knew it wasn't worth fighting for.

She has the looks and the kindness,
And the loving I couldn't possess.
And deep down I wish I never fell for you,
So things wouldn't be this mess.

So I want you to know I'll move on,
And I want you to do the same,
I'm hurting like hell of course,
But you're not only to blame.

So I'll ask you one more time,
And this time don't tell me a lie,
Because I think there's one thing we agree on,
This love was destined to die.
