No Third Chance

I'm not a love sick boy,

you're the one who seems to get some kind of joy,

pulling at my heart,

trying to rekindle the memories I share with you.

I can't blame you,

my kiss isn't that easy to forget,

but I'm sure you feel like a big man for ghosting me again.

Two times you tried to see me,

but I'm not so needy,

when you cancelled,

I just let you play your little game.

But I've got game too,

so I'm not going to try and hurt you.

You're not going to make me self-conscious,

not to sound pompous,

but I'm kind of awesome.

Six foot seven yet you can't stand as tall as me.

Strong like a tree,

I'm not going to break,

just bend.

I'll be the bigger person and hope things work out for you in the end.
