I Was The One

I was the one who held you close

Pressed my lips against your flawed nose (or so you said it was)

Kissed your eyelids...

Brushed my lips against your cool forehead

And gave you all the love I had to offer.

I was the girl, that brown-eyed girl with the dark skin, sweet tone and down cast eyes...

I was that Girl

I was the one

I was the one who pined away

Cried waterfall tears

And mourned for the loss of you

I was her, the kind-hearted woman, enveloped by her own naiveté

Seeking to regain love that I never had

Never owned

Never given

Never invited into

But yet she, she and she...and her....and that girl over there....

Yes the girl with the long black hair, loud voice...

Yes her voice is loud, so unlike mines it echo's fiercely...

She is the One

They are the One

For you?

And so who am I?

I am that girl.....who loved you...

The one who cried for you...

Looked like a fool for you

Gave up my pride for you

And yet what am I to you?

I am the one

No I am that one girl

That one girl who you believe is 'down for you'

The one who will never leave you

The one who will never give up on you

The one who will always wait for you

Because I am the one who became wise

I am the one who realized

I am the one who no longer cries

I thought you were the one...

And yet you are

You are the many ones who do not matter

You are the many ones who are not worth my time

You are the many ones who do not deserve my unconditional love

Because, I will never be enough for you..not as long as I leave the door open, and make myself available to you

Then a day will come,when you realize that I was the One....I feel it drawing near....

Its coming so fast, it burns...

You will tell me that I am the One

And I will tell you, no....I WAS the ONE.
