Battle

I longed for you, but you didn't want me, you made that very clear...but I won. I spent so long getting to know you, becoming your friend, doing everything I could for you, you laughed and pushed me away at every turn...but I won. Every tearful night, every dance you made me cry...I fought with you, and for you, and I won.

You eventually admitted that you liked spending time with me, that we were friends, and I won. You finally fell in love with me, and asked me to be yours, and I won. I was elated, years of heartache and dreaming, and I won. We were only kids back then, but for years we were happy, and everyone told us we were meant to be...finally I had won.

But then I lost myself in adolescence, and took you for granted - I left you for another - foolishly, regretfully...and you won.
