Sparkle

The pretty sparkle in my eye,
You stole it.
It was not my decision
I tried to get it back
But you held it tight between your fingers
And carelessly put it in your back pocket

You're different that I expected
I've never had perfection like you in my life
Look at me the way you do
Last night, I decided that I would give you a chance
I told my heart that maybe someone like you
Could actually admire someone like me

& then I saw you early the next morning
You were in a character I did not expect
Careless and in my face
The sparkle in your pocket didn't matter to you anymore
In fact, I'm pretty sure you fell on it a few times
As I left the scene, the words you said were the ones ringing in my ears

I'm trying to let this go
It wasn't you talking to me
It was the drink of the night life
But I don't know if I'll ever look at you the same
I'll try to ignore my heart and pretend that nothing happened
But I can't forget.
