Not Good Enough


People say that she's perfect.

All I can say is they're right.

I can't believe I have her,

No matter how hard I try.

Far above what I've dreamed.

Ultimately out of reach.

Loved only by those who she lets in.

Lo and behold she lets in

You

 

People say it's absurd.

Every single one of them is wrong.

Right?

Falling for someone can't be undone.

Exiting a life requires one to run.

Calls won't be returned.

Time to fail at moving on.
