You (The Second Installment)

I'm so glad.
I'm so glad that you're happy
And I'm glad that they can give you
Everything that I can't
And I'm glad they have everything
That I don't.
I'm glad that I can see you when you
Aren't lost in the crowd.
I'm glad that you found people who understand you.
I'm glad for you,
And I'm glad you can be you.
I'm glad that you can so easily
Forget everything that we were.

The rain on my skin feels just like
Tears unnecessarily shed over you
And the lighting cracking overhead
Feels the same as what I feel
When I look at you.

I hope to God when you
Drink her in,
You taste the cheap wine
And the bitter tea,
That was what we used to be.

If you can afford to slow down,
You know where to find me.

I wish I could've met you
Before you convinced
Yourself that love
Is nothing.

You don't see what is 2 feet in front of you.
Or maybe you do.

I love you.
But you
Love
Her.
