It hurt when you left.
My heart twisted and turned.
I thought I would die from the way that it burned.
I thought you were special.
I thought you were my one.
How much more wrong could I be, you were just out for fun.
You thought you could use me.
Keep me hanging on your strings.
But life does not work that way, it's meant to teach us things.
So I know you will never see this.
And I really could not care less.
But thank you for the lessons, someone else can have your mess.
As I look to the future.
One without you around.
I realized in the mirror was where my special one would be found.
