One Last Goodbye Part 2

-continuation-

Not even one freaking picture, that is why I must split.
I didn't hold back, I gave you my soul. I was honest and true.
you just don't understand how many guys I turned down just for you.
But this time is different. I won't turn this guy down because I need more.
and I know that he will give me what I desire that's why I'm writing you this poem.
But I do want to thank you for the experience of a lifetime.
Because now that I have a man that I know I can call all mine...
I'll take the good things that I learned while I was wasting time with you.
Perfect them, put it in reverse, and treat him like a king, too.
And then I will finally get the love that I give back.
and I will no longer be someone for you to laugh at.
when people give their hearts it shouldn't be taken as a joke.
Because love is not a game and not just a word I spoke.
It's difficult for a girl to give up and so painful to give in.
But it's a bullet to the heart when she's deceived by men.
De'Andrea, that poor girl, a wonderful handful is what she has.
I use to laugh at her situation but now a new perspective makes it sad.
Because if it's not me, it's someone else so the cycle will continue.
and now that I look more carefully, there is something odd within you.
But you're no longer my problem; I empathize with her but really don't care.
Because if she took a deeper look at things, she would see what's really there.
and so, having said all I wanted, I have one more statement before I'm done:
It was fun and almost real, but it wasn't really fun.

names have been changed for my sake.
