Like We Used To

Are you happy now, Lucy?
It's merely a day before your wedding, and I could just imagine you in a flowing, white dress with magnificent flowers in your hand and a veil of sheer white. You'd look like how you looked like before.
The most beautiful woman on the face of Earthland.
You'd be smiling at your groom while trudging along the church, and he'd smile at you, too.
Everything could be reality from a fantasy.
Except the fact that I wasn't the man who's waiting for you at the altar.
It should've been me instead of him
Why, Luce? I stayed through thick or thin.
I made you laugh when he couldn't.
I eased your pain whenever you see them together.
But why?
Why does it have to be flame brain instead of me?
Does he watch your favorite movies
Does he hold you when you cry
I did all that. Are you sure he deserves to be with you rather than me?
Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts
When you've seen it a million times
Yeah, I admit that I got pretty bored at your favorite movie. But remember, I'd do anything for you.
Does he sing to all your music
While you dance to 'Purple Rain'
I just know that he can't sing. My voice may be terrible but I always want you to close your eyes and hum to the melody I'm singing.
Does he do all these things
Did he do those things that made you choose him?
Like I used to
I did all that. He missed his chance before.
Why give him another chance now?
I always end up feeling cheated
You're on my mind, love
I should've been the one.
I should've been the one who was given the chance.
Will he love you like I loved you
Will he tell you everyday
I love you, Lucy Heartphilia. No one can ever match up to me in terms of the love I had for you.
I always made you feel that you were cared for. Will he do that?
Will he make you feel like you're invincible
With every word he'll say
All he did was break you into pieces, molded you into fragile glass that easily crumbles.
Would you promise me if this was right
Don't throw it all away
I want you to be happy, Luce. If you think that you've found your destiny, then so be it. Don't swerve and make mistakes because you'll regret for a lifetime.
Will he do all these things
Will you do all these things
That boy better make you happy, or else.
I hope that he's going to make you live as a contented woman and die as one as well.
Like we used to
The past is past.
I still love you, but you obviously love someone else.
As I read the words "You are cordially invited to the wedding of Lucy Heartphilia and Natsu Dragneel", I wish you the best, Lucy.
The past is past, and I can't bring those memories back.
He'd better be happy with you and love you for the rest of eternity-
.
Like I used to.
