Another Girl
Another girl will live the life I dreamed with him.
Another girl will wake up to him sleepy voice every morning, while I only wake up to the weight of his absence.
Another girl will hold his hand on cold nights, the same hand I once imagined holding forever.
Another girl will listen to his endless stories, laughing at jokes I would've known by heart.
Another girl will be the reason behind his smiles, the kind of smiles I once broke myself trying to protect.
Another girl will stand beside him in pictures, in moments, in memories-the same places I once pictured myself.
Another girl will wipe his tears, but I... I was always ready to catch them before they could fall.
Another girl will walk beside him in crowded streets, not realizing how lucky she is to be there, while I walk alone with thoughts of him.
Another girl will hear his say "I love you" and might take it for granted, not knowing how those words could've healed every broken piece of me.
Another girl will be his comfort, while I was just a quiet chapter in his story.
Another girl will get to marry him, dance with him, build a life with him-the same life I built a thousand times in my mind.
Another girl will live my dream, and all I can do is hope she never breaks him the way the world once did.
Because even now, after everything, all I want is for him to be loved the way I could never show.
