Never Quite Happened By Anonymous

I think that you might hate me, I'm so tired I don't care. Your opinion formed from nothing, when I wasn't there. You thought that you loved me once, now I'm ugly and thick. The fact I never dated you never altered it? You now tell them I'm a minger, only you know why. I was always slightly podgy and with wonky smile. Your good opinion before was so easily bestowed Without evidential basis or reason. Destined to be together for all eternity. Funny how all your plans for us never involved me. Time kept ticking for me and life went on. By the time you decided it was right the time had gone. You ask me why I chose him over you? A choice I didn't have to make when you think it through. Ask a silly question in front of a friend of mine. I gave a silly answer I hope you didn't mind. Whilst I liked his hair and eyes like I told you. You never did ask me out so I couldn't choose you. Now I'm a little older and read the subtext I can't see. I never was a mind reader even at 15.
