I never saw it coming..

I remember it, like the back of my hand.

You walked towards me and I stood, sweaty palms intact. 

You started talking and I swear I couldn’t breathe. 

And worse off, you'd only said Hi to me.. 

I didn't know where to go from there

I'd dropped my books in the hall, 

your fingertips brushed my hand 

I didn't understand. 

Why help me? 

You have places to go, people to see. 

So why'd you stop to help me. 

You didn’t stop there, 

you stopped me in the hall, asking for the class notes. 

Little did I know you started building my hopes. 

The trips to my house, the late night talks... 

I couldn’t pinpoint what made me fall, 

in my mind you had it all. 

The tricks of the trade spun differently for you, 

you have this thing about all the things you do. 

You did it for me right? 

Wrong. 

You did it for her. 

I was blindsided, 

I never saw it coming, but it snuck up quick. 

Like a predator chasing its prey, I never stood a chance. 

You wanted me, to get to her.

Did you see us together all the time? 

Is that how the plan unfolded in your mind? 

You knew were inseparable, 

Sisters connected at the hip. 

You took a crash course on crashing, 

Taking my best friend from right under me. 

I didn’t see it coming, so can we go back? 

Can I get a redo? 

Cause now all I feel is hate with every little thing you do. 

I wouldn’t of let my palms sweat, my heart race. 

I wouldn’t have kept pace with my feelings. 

My books would have stayed spread out on the floor,

When you came to see me at home, I would have shut the door. 

Those notes would have stayed in my binder 

the ignore button would have served as my reminder.

 My blushes wouldn’t have reacted, 

and my hand would have retracted. 

My eyes would have wandered, 

that ‘hi’ wouldn’t have left my lips.

I would have kept walking, 

and I wouldn’t be left like this.
