It Was Never Her

it was the day of her show
everything was perfect
the only thing missing
was her wonderful leading guy
she looked and looked but he could not be found
disheartened she began the show

as she spoke she looked into the crowd
there was no sight of him
she continued to look professionally repeating her lines
but by the end of the scene she could do nothing but cry
she stood and thought of the worst
never thinking of the best
never thinking he just didn’t show

it’s now the third scene and he is still absent
her heart is hurting the more she repeats her lines
they’re the things he once said to her
all perfectly rehearsed
the tears begin to flow
the audience believes its passion
her friends believe it’s something more
they know her biggest fear and know its come true
yet they can’t help but be relieved

by the end of the night
her heart has been shattered
after being congratulated she heads to her car
there she spots him
he’s leaning on the next car
she begins to run to him but stops
in his arms was the girl she’s always known
the girl she’d once called friend
she quickly turns
running at full speed
home is where she goes

on the way she realizes something
she realizes that all he’s asked was about her friend
love made her believe he was just asking
now she knew the truth
it never was as she thought
it was always her friend
it was never her
