The Last Time I Cried
Being lonely is horrible
Being forgotten is worse
Knowing you're not loved is misery
Being alone hurts.
Today I learned something new.
Something I needed to know.
Something that I'd been waiting to hear--
Something to bring my spirits from below.
He told me that I was pretty
And that I deserved to know
That guys that don't like me are stupid
And they just need to grow.
I felt so light and happy.
I felt so relieved and true
I never knew I could feel this way.
My time for happiness was long due.
And just a few hours later
I sank back down to earth.
I felt the pain that was the same.
A pain that had to be worse than birth.
Tears formed in my eyes
So close to falling
I had to leave
Before I started bawling.
But what he said is true
And I need to grow stronger
I need to learn how
To let my self-esteem last longer.
I WILL be strong
I WILL get through
He WILL realize
That I should NOT be number 2.
And that's all I have to say
For my tears no longer burn.
My attitude has taken
A very dramatic turn
I NO longer need him
I NO longer want to cry
I NO longer feel like
Without him I will die.
And I hope he reads this
And another guy I will pursue
I will be his lady
And I will NOT belong to YOU!
