based off of ed sheeran's song-which is so good btw. so damn good, i cri.

☽♛☾

he said something to make you laugh
i saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours. yeah, you look happier, you do

you and your new boyfriend r/g/n, went to a local restaurant where you saw ethan. he was your ex after four years, it all went to waste. you and r/g/n sat in a booth when ethan saw the both of you together. he swear he could feel his heart breaking piece by piece. r/g/n said a joke that made you laugh so loud that everyone in the restaurant looked at you crazy, but ethan only admired you from afar. you looked a lot happier.

and until then i'll smile to hide the truth
but i know i was happier with you.

you were still in love with ethan, no mater how much you didn't want to admit it, you loved him. instead, you put on a fake smile to hide your pain, you knew you were happier with him.

ain't nobody hurt you like i hurt you.

ethan was caught kissing another girl at your birthday party. she was your bestfriend at the time, but he didn't know what he was doing. she was jealous of everything you had and tried to make you miserable. later that night, she explained how she kissed ethan and you gave her a black eye. the b.itch deserved it. ethan repeatedly apologized for something that wasn't his fault, but you needed space. nobody had ever hurt you like he did.

i could try to smile to hide the truth. i know i was happier with you.

ethan knew deep down in his heart that you were the one. ever since he first laid eyes on you, he knew he was in deep. he sends you a fake smile to hide his pain. he knew he was happier with you.

i knew one day you'd fall for someone new
but if he breaks your heart like lovers do
just know that i'll be waiting here for you.

ethan knew you still loved him. he knew that one day you'd move on and find someone better than him. one day r/g/n would end up breaking your heart, and ethan was willing to wait for that day to happen. after all, you would be happier with him.
