I barely knew you from the start,
Which for us it wasn't that smart.
All I wanted to do is get to know you,
But you, always decided not to.
I wish I could get through every day,
To not think about you, is what I pray.
As I look in the mirror at my reflection,
I see myself going in the wrong direction.
I have nothing left to say,
Yet I think what I would be like everyday.
All you had to do is say no,
And all I want to know.
If you will be there for me,
Or are you my worst enemy?
