Once upon a time,
there was a boy and a girl.
The boy was confident, funny, smart, and
charming. The girl was shy, insecure, and
a sucker for blue eyes. This boy, he knew
how to play the game well, and the poor
girl didn’t stand a chance. He said all the
right words and the right lines.
They were so different,
and yet, so s i m i l a r .
He was her best friend,
he was so much more.
Now this girl is not your
hopeless romantic. She
never imagined she would
feel the way she did about
him.
But I guess your first
boyfriend does that to you.
Maybe it was infatuation,
maybe it was love.
One thing is for sure;
it was one-sided.
The girl was foolish and believed
that this amazing boy felt the same
way. However, he had w a n d e r i n g eyes .
And before long, it was over.
The girl
was crushed beyond belief.
Her self-esteem took a major hit.
She constantly wondered
just what was wrong with her.
With the help of her friends,
she realized she could and would do better next time.
She realized she did not need this stupid boy.
He was too short for her anyways.
She started to move on…
A few months later,
the boy came running back into her life.
She had missed his friendship dearly,
so she welcomed him with open arms.
Then
he ruined it all with one sentence:
