Like clockwork an arrangement of flowers were ordered for you
While smiling on the inside as you tried to figure out who
Fighting back the tears as you took guesses of who it could be
Because not even once did you think about mentioning me
We been best friends for life but somewhere along the line
My feelings developed into something divine
Where’s the emergency broadcast system when you need one?
That reads, YOU ARE ABOUT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR BESTFRIEND, SO RUN!
As I listened to all of your stories about all the bad relationships you’ve had
Making mental notes on how to be the better woman since I didn’t have a pad
I love you so much that when I hear your name I start arranging my clothes
As I make trips to the nailery in the winter only to have them fix up my toes
How do you think you got that big Executive job you got?
I mean your skills were good but I helped by putting my hands in the pot
See, my Aunt knows the person who works on the fifth floor
That person took your app from the bottom and slipped it under the Chief Executive’s door
This is only a token of the love that I have inside for you
I wanna erase all your pain from the past and write you a prescription for a brand called “new”
I’ll be happy to fill it for you as long as you promise to stay
Not only do I wanna be your woman, but I plan to marry you some day
But on this one particular afternoon you shocked the hell out of me
See, I didn’t tell you that I was going to leave early from work around three
When I got home I almost passed out at what I saw and my body just froze
As I watched you sticking a love letter on my door with a long stemmed rose
Moral of the story…"Closed mouths don’t get fed.” If you love someone, tell them before it’s too late.
