I did it again.

I waited for you to speak up.

I thought you would explain

And I thought I was worth it.

Instead, I learnt that

You're dating Maisie.

Of all people,

Why Alex?

Why did you pick her?

Why did you pick the girl

who has been bullying me for years?

I sought for the possibilities:

she was beautiful but not your type,

she was mean, and you know it,

she had no respect

and she would flirt anyone.

She wasn't loyal,

she would never love you.

Can't you see that?

Can't you see that she would dump you

in the very second she found else?

She would hurt you, Alex

and I wouldn't.

Why does it feel wrong?

Why is life always unfair?

I heard that happiness is too hard to find

But I never believed it before.

I didn't know

It aches the most

when you have happiness in front of you

yet you can't reach it.

ps. you all are amazing.
