So Much Better Than You

Seeing you in my head isn’t pretty
Time away has burned you
You’re lost in your own world
One that I thought I wanted 
Now I see so many fires
I’ve been burned by you
Even though there was something 
Something that made us
But now we are no longer us
Just ashes

I’m in love again
She’s so kind 
She’s so loving
I’m sure you can’t relate to that
No you can’t 

She’s so so much more than you
So much more 

I  was late to her heart 
Mine was scarred 
I’ve been needing her 
I’ve walked through fire -
To finally reach her
Never regretting that it took so long to hold her 
It’s something I could hold onto forever 

I didn’t realize all those times earlier 
It felt so right 
Her and I -
Just flipping words back and forth
Drunk - 
in love
Not knowing she placed that -
Cupid arrow in my heart
A slow release love potion 

Now she has me under her spell
Waking up - 
thinking of her
Wanting to see her
Gotta talk to her
Craving those -
Uh Huh’s!
