You Can't Have Us Both

Ughhh, love sucks! ):

I’ve only known you for two weeks, but it’s like I know everything about you.

We talk about everything.

Laugh about anything.

We’re just perfect together.

It seemed like we would be a perfect couple, if only we were together.

But we weren’t.

Aren’t.

You said you’d only be in town for a few weeks.

That you’d be staying with your dad,

But you’d have to go back to your mom soon.

She would miss you too much for you to stay down here all summer.

But, have you ever thought about the hearts you’ll be breaking when you leave?

I gave you my heart, even if you don’t know it.

You just crushed it, though.

You haven’t even left yet.

I tried to tell you how I feel, but you told me about her.

She’s not your girlfriend, but you might like her.

She definitely likes you, and she lives next door to your mom.

You see each other every day.

How could anything be more perfect?

She says that she’s always liked you since the day she met you.

Well, I could say the same.

I might not have know you for the same, and I’m not saying she’s not great.

Maybe I’m making too big a deal about this.

But I can’t take it.

You going back to her, and leaving me here all alone.

I won’t see you for almost a whole year.

Who knows what can happen?

But, you should know before you go, you’re taking something new home.

My heart still belongs to you.

No matter what happens.

Treat it carefully, it’s already fragile.

Author's Note

I fell in love with this guy during this summer, only getting to see him for 2 weeks and emailing him the rest of the summer. He stole my heart. But then today, he told me about a friend back from where he lives all year (with the exception of the times he goes to visit his dad and step mom) who likes him and how he might like her back. it's torn me up and I don't know what to think so I wrote this. Please, just tell me what you think. Criticism/thoughts/suggestions are welcomed. Thanks for reading(:
