1.Under the glow of the streetlights,
2.So bright I didn’t even notice them,
3.The night feels
4.A little too cold
5.To be walking alone.6.
7.I won’t be selfish.
8.I don’t need expensive gifts.
9.Even the illuminations—
10.If you’re the indoor type, I won’t insist we go.
11.I’ve grown up now,
12.So I won’t say “I want to see you” anymore.13.
14.It doesn’t have to be Christmas Day.
15.Just let me sit beside you
16.And imagine, even for a moment, that I mean more to you.
17.I don’t care if I’m not your number one.
18.Even after the lights come down, that’s fine with me.19.
20.The truth is,
21.I get cold easily.
22.I’ve got a hand warmer in my pocket,
23.But when you say, “It’s cold,”
24.I keep it secret,
25.So I can say, “I’m warm,” and hold your hand.26.
27.I’m not clingy, you know.
28.You can hang out with other people.
29.Even my replies on LINE
30.Will match your pace.
31.I’m not a kid anymore,
32.So even if you brush me off with just a reaction,
33.I won’t double-text you.34.
35.On Christmas Day, I’m sure
36.You’ll spend it with
37.That girl you’ve been talking about lately.
38.Even though I liked you
39.Long before
40.You ever met her.41.
42.On Christmas Day, I’ll put on
43.A cute outfit,
44.Ready for you to call me anytime.
45.I thought I’d never become
46.The kind of girl who’s always waiting around,
47.But here I am.48.
49.It doesn’t have to be Christmas Day.
50.That was a lie, I’m sorry.
51.Everything I said until now was a lie.
52.I haven’t grown up.
53.I am selfish.
54.I didn’t just like you—
55.I loved you.56.
57.So here’s my last lie:
58.I wish I’d never met you.
