He Was Never a Sure Bet
I introduced my fiancé to my best friend.
Knowing they would not get along at all.
I was the one not happy in the end.
For their love affair was not a bit small.
They both dumped me quickly.
They were a twosome, so slickly.
I had no idea this would be the case.
But their romance took a rapid pace.
My wedding was off, and hers was in full swing.
A six year engagement broken off, he took my ring.
She never wore it; he got her a much better one.
It took me a while to see he would have been no fun.
He never had these deep crazy feelings for me.
I was the one who wanted a wedding to be.
I sit in silence and stare at a lone cigarette.
Not willing to admit he was never a sure bet.
