Left at the Altar — The Changed Wedding Song

and the two of them looked like the stars of a bridal campaign announcing the future wife of haze dawn i had poured everything into this wedding as though doing so could prove that i was always the one who got forgotten i never imagined that in the end i would still be pushed out of the frame my phone lit up went dark then lit up again maz kept filling the group chat i did not respond
