3. they got away

i see what you’ve
been feeling,
all the ones you loved
are gone,
you never wanted to admit
that you had feelings,
hid the pain behind
a strong persona,
opened your heart
but it only left you hurt,
got scared to tell them,
now you may never
speak another word,
it hurts to miss your shot.

there were two of them,
but one you never met
in real life,
so pretty you got
intimidated by her,
felt like you never
stood a chance,
when she’s back,
you’ll be gone,
she’ll have probably
moved on, 
that ache can be strong.
and there was the friend,
you believed in her more
than she believed herself,
but you could never
tell her how you felt,
now she’s off to see the world,
while your thoughts swirl
about what could’ve been.

i’ve been there before,
the sting of those
that got away,
a lot to take,
you wish for once
that you could’ve changed,
life will stay the same,
and you’ll never be the one
that brightens their days,
they might forget you
sometime soon,
i hope that’s not the case,
but it’s hard to stay strong
when the heart breaks,
and you’re wishing
it’d been a little different.

i’m sorry they got away.
