They're No You

Boy number one is full of compliments for me
His smile's cute and he's always sweet
Calling me babe and saying he'd never pressure me

Boy number two is my best friend
He's so funny and kinda perfect
Except his little problem that might be too much

Both of them alright
I kinda like them both
Both of them could be just fine
If I hadn't had you before

They're no you..
I'm trying to replace you
But they're not you
Nobody could ever be so perfect
You had me down
Knew me by heart
You were perfect from the start
They're trying but it's not the same
I wish you could be mine again
They're no you..

Boy number one I know for a fact likes me
He tells me every day I'm beautiful

Boy number two is a little more switchy
But I'm falling for him more and more

They both have caught my attention
They're both definitely worth a mention
But

They're no you..
I'm trying to replace you
But they're not you
Nobody could ever be so perfect
You had me down
Knew me by heart
You were perfect from the start
They're trying but it's not the same
I wish you could be mine again
They're no you..

They might distract me
For a little while
They might make me happy
Maybe make me smile
But

They don't know what 123 means
They don't always text me back
They don't know my past
They don't really know me
 Like you did
They're no you

Hard to replace good memories. Sometime the past seem more wonderful after we reached the final ending. I like how you described the two boys. Life allow us to make many decisions. Best to walk slow and easy into love. I like the strong ending. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Oh this poem is so pretty and written with personal information. You also made it sound like poems I make, the personal touch, but let it relate to what people go through each day. I had to go through this once, or more, times... :/ It wasn't fun at all... But you made this poem realistic for me. Wonderful job! :)

I really enjoyed this piece.
very well written and with obvious emotion behind it. excellent structure, flow and pace makes this a joy to read.
what makes it even better is how i, as im guessing about everyone, can relate to this. at some pint in our lives we've all been there and i believe youve captured the feeling of it about perfectly.

very well done. a truly professional write :)
