One day

One day,
you’re going to want that specific girl,
the one that wasn’t perfect,
but tried to be, for you.
The girl who wanted nothing more than to be there for you,
and love you the only way she knew she could.
The girl who sees your flaws,
but values them as much as your strengths.
The girl who can’t bring herself to hate you,
even though you probably deserve it.
That girl who saw past your pretty face
and treasured parts of you that no one appreciated.
That girl who realized that she may never have your heart,
but will carry the image of you in hers forever.
And by the time you realize that’s the girl you’re looking for,
she’ll be with the guy who already knew.
