The Difference Between Needs and Wants

By Jaidon Carranza

I remember it all

Like the time you sang "Hey There Delilah"

It made my heart sing and dance and it crawled to my throat

I couldn't stop smiling

Sometimes I wish I could hear your song one more time

But it's not what I need

Just what I want

The beginning was great

The start of a new chapter

I was so happy

But it grew old, and you got bored

Some other girls caught your interest

Was I not good enough?

How come we both haven't found someone new

You cheated

You lied

You left me on read

Yet you still haven't found someone new

I'm one to talk

I can't forget the memories of me and you

It's glued to my thoughts

But then I remember 

When I heard what you did from someone else

Not you

I just knew something was up

Those last couple of months

Why did I let 7 months of toxicity and ignorance drag on for so long

Nobody's perfect

I guess it's time for court

The judge said I'm guilty 

He said I'm guilty of so many things

Of not moving on

If telling myself I could do better

But honestly 

You were the best thing that happened to me

And I'll never forget you

As much as I want to.
