Once upon a time,
when her world was bright and happy
a boy of mystery entered her life
exposed her heart
and owned her soul
he crept up unexpectedly
and engulfed her with his glory
took her feet right out from under her
and so begins our story...
This boy of magical amazement
was the stuff that dreams were made of
she never thought she'd be so lucky
to find this dazzling kind of love
he hid in ever corner
of her once torn and shattered heart
he used his emotional carpentry
to keep it from falling apart
the wonderment
of how he made her feel
was beyond the realm of understanding
in fact it hardly seemed real
she helplessly,hopelessly
barley knowingly
fell completey for the guy
tho her love curdled the first time
she wanted another try
even just the sound of his name
made her wear a smile
it felt too damn good
she knew it'd probably only last a while
so as the leaves began to change
so did the boy who became her everything
something started falling off
where's the ecstasy he used to bring?
she knew the feelings he had
would eventually stray
its all she could expect
living a million miles away
she knows he's the most amazing guy
after its all said and done
thats one fact for sure
she never will deny
maybe she just missed the way things used to be
or there was too much to regret
but all the things he did for her
she never will forget
some where along the way
she turned angry, bitter and sour
so everything they had
vanished in one short hour
she knows the boy he once strived to be
is out there in the great unknown
searching for her endlessly
but the way she made this song play out
was wrong undoubtedly from the start
'cause the boy now hides in the shadows
when yesterday he hid in the corners of her heart

*for someone who's used to heartache,losing it all was just a matter of time*
Be kind,for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle

Very sad but a story too often played out in real life. Thanks for sharing.
