“It seems the only blessing that I have left to my name,
Is not knowing what we could have been,
What we should have been.”

And there’s everything I wanted us to be
Secret lovers, and a secret
High School Club’s Romeo and Juliet

That’s what one girl in my school called us
I’m not sure I would have given my life for you
But I wanted you to be happy

So I bit my dreams
Tying them to the fence out back
Just so they wouldn’t get in the way of you

Being happy with that girl
The one who claimed to be my best friend
Knew what I wanted you

But that started our problems
First small fights
We were back in bed together the next night

Then a few days apart
And now a little under a month
I’m starting to not mind this aloneness

I went out driving one day
Not knowing where I was going
Listening to a CD that someone gave me

I could relate each song to the once could be us
And smiled on how our friendship was
Remembered the nights I would tell you the problems in my life

And how you would tell me about
All the problems your crew faced
Not to mention the orgy that was your life

But your personal orgy was with one girl
Had to be something amazing for you to be with
She had to be special

The way you talked about her every night
Words rumba off your tongue
Each word so musical so rhythmic

I wanted you to talk about me like that
But I never heard you talk about me
I’m never there

And I never will be there
Even if we end up somewhere together
There’s always this alien bubble between us
