A dance with a friend
He asked me
I asked him
I don't recall
But we danced
It was a slow dance
I looked at my best friend
Dancing with her boyfriend
I ran to the bathroom
To pull myself together
Don't cry
The makeup will run
I think in that moment
That I looked and saw them
I knew in my heart
I'd never find the one

I know once I walk away, I'm going to inevitably turn around and wonder where the time went.
And in that exact moment, I'm going to realize that it has been in front of me this whole entire time.
The sad truth is that once I take the first step forward after that realization, I'm going to break apart. Because I will be walking in the wrong direction- like I always have been.
But this day will be different. Because as soon as I take that step forward, there's no going back.
I'll take my seat, turn off my dreams and be like the rest.
Just somebody.

I can't touch you out of fear
I've been in this painful position before
And my already broken heart
Was partly why he walked out the door
