It was nearly a year ago,

And I can still feel the scars,

The ruins of who I loved.

You are standing idly

On the path I used to take.

I’ve turned away,

I can finally look back now.

And now the things you say

Mean just as much to me

As any given person’s words would.

There’s nothing left to question.

I don’t lay awake

Wondering where your heart is tonight.

I don’t worry

About your lack of love for me.

As compatible as we seem to be,

I change myself in light of your presence

For no reason.

You still bring out the best in me,

So thanks.

How precious you are now.

What a monster you were back then.

Everything I ignored

Was still beautiful to me.

I wouldn’t say I was completely wrong,

But I surely was half-blind,

And now I wish you could really be

Everything I thought you were when

I had no chance to break your heart.

What happened,

Why aren’t you blurry?

Why am I not shaking?

I thought I loved you,

Didn’t I?

Or is teenage love

Not worth mentioning after all?
