All my Friends Say

All my friends say, To them, you weren’t a ten, nor a 6.5,

To me you weren’t a ten, but much more than that,

I’ld give anything for the colours in your eyes,

And they surmised they saw in you Spencer Pratt.

You didn’t bring out just the good in me, you made me a worse person too,

You brought me out like the summer rays, monsoon rain,

And it made me feel more alive than I ever should.

& I know I would have come to hell if you were there,

Just to get my fix of you, to be drunk on you.

All my friends say, I’ld go out, get a drink,

And reach your front stairs and all I’ld want is one more kiss,

And it didn’t make sense to them or you,

That’s when I knew, it was time to let go of this,

You didn’t realize you drove me crazy, and you made me mad,

You had your spell on me and you didn’t acknowledge that.

And like the stars in the sky, the “Love you” from your lips,

All my friends say,

Like the Mehendi off someone’s hands, the tan on my skin,

You faded away.

So, maybe one last another drunk debauchery in your bed,

And one last time to keep my head on your chest,

All my friends say, when you came in my life I went love- crazy

All my friends say, you were never good for me.

I don’t know how much I believe that but I know

What we were did nothing but hurt,

And maybe it’s time I just let go,

With your outgoing to another number and heart to another girl,

Can’t pray to 11:11 for you to stay when you are long gone,

Can’t blame anyone when the bank is already robbed.

So I aint coming back to your side,

I do like you a lot but I gotta let this die.

You were a tornado wreck in the middle of b’ful pastures,

Could amuse at the absurdity or censure the raillery of nature,

Like a snow caused accident in the middle of a road,

Overwhelming and scary when looked at yet impossible to ignore,

You were like home to me still an unfamiliar family.

All my friends say,

We went wrong in all the right ways,

Yet I held you tighter the first night our shadows bled,

Than I then had the right to do,

And he’s your first boyfriend we wish you never had,

All my friends said.
