I should've never said you two would get along
I let go
I brought you into the room,
like I was proud
Look at my people,
look at my girl,
look at us now
You laughed at his jokes before you ever laughed at mine
Thought it was safe,
thought the lines were still defined
We'd stay up talking on a fire escape till dawn
You and me,
legs swinging,
making plans for when we're gone
He was inside his sleep on my couch,
three beers deep
I didn't see you watching the doy when you leaned in to kiss me
I handed you my whole world,
wound on a silver platter
Thought you'd choose the one I called my
brother I introduced you to my future,
now you're
holding his hand in it I drew the map to my heart,
you took the
scenic route and ended up at his address Funny
how the person I trusted most is sleeping
in the bed I built for us I gave you my favorite person
You gave me the view from the outside of love Now group chat's quiet,
nobody knows what
to say He texts you,
good bro,
I leave him on read
for days You still wear the hoodie I left at your
place He just thinks it's cute,
doesn't know it's
my ghost on your waist I see the photos you don't post yet,
the
almost Your head on his shoulder in the stories you
saved for close I taught him how to love you
Every secret I last left,
now he's using my playbook
And I'm the one bench,
I was the bridge You burned it to keep each other warm
Now I'm just the ashes you both try to ignore
I introduced you to my future, now it's movie
nights without me I showed you the cracks in him,
you filled
him with your light I showed him the way to you,
he never gave
it back I'm the one who lost two people in a single
heartbeat I gave you my favorite person
And you made him yours instead I
still hear you laughing in my kitchen
Only now is there something he said I still reach for you in my sleep
Only to remember the space moved on without me
I introduced you to my future Now I'm a footnote in both your lives
He texts,
hope you're okay,
like I didn't hand you the knife
I guess some people build homes and some people just open doors
I opened mine for both of you and you all threw
together Leaving me on the porch with the keys
Next time I love someone,
I'll keep my friends in another city
Some introductions
are just slow goodbyes in disguise
