There are moments I wish I still had you.

I wish you would be here for me.
Just there.
Speaking to me as the stranger you knew me as.
Telling me how you loved and wished to be loved,
By the princesses that would never love you back.

Oh how you were charming.
I know what those girls saw in you.
I also know what the others didn't.
I knew, and I know, and I don't anymore.

You say you liked me.
I liked you, too.

I liked you, the one that believed a lie.
My lie.
The lie that told you I was beautiful and that I could be someone.
The lie that I wanted to believe.
Oh how I loved that about you.

I loved you.
Of course I did.
I didn't know you.

You didn't teach me love, though.
You taught me selfishness, and bitterness, and hope.
You taught me that lies can be beautiful,
And honesty can be dark.
You taught me that I can love myself,
And why should I love anyone else?

I wish I still had you,
Just so I can tell you,
All the things that I hated about you.

And that I loved you.
