I don't want you to feel guilty.
I don't want you to feel mean.
You're not heartless,
I am.


I hate that you're happy,
Because it makes me feel all the more alone.
I don't want to be alone.


I can't grow a new heart.
And I can't glue mine together.


I don't want your heart to be broken,
Just so we can be heartbroken
Together.

The author's comments:
This is about my best friend who had been single almost as long as I had and then when she suddenly got a boyfriend, it made me feel really depressed. But I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to ruin her happiness.
