My Ex's Best Friend
June 2011 (10th Grade)

When I first saw him,
I didn't think much then.
I was with his best bud.
That didn't end too well for us.
He played a game of "I love you, I love you not,"
and left me in the dust to rot.
His best friend wiped away my tears
and mascara smears.
He was nothing like my ex.
He told me he wanted me ever since we met.
Who cares if it's against the "Bro Code?"
Look who's now alone.
Trapped in his own web; Stuck and sticky.
While I'm off flying free.
I'm soaring with his best buddy.
Still, you won't forget me.
It's not wrong.
Just an epiphany that took too long.
We were never meant to be.
My ex's best friend is the one for me.
