she should've known.

she should've known her life wasn't a fairytale

that her life wasn't like all those books she read

where the guy falls for the girl

and he's there for her

and he turns out to be the sweetest.

she should've known

that someone that beautiful

would never go for a girl like her

but she let herself believe him.

she let herself fall for him.

and now,

she was left in the dust

second choice once again.

she lost

the race

to his heart.

or maybe it was stolen from her

because that's what it seemed.

she was so. close.

she just wanted to be loved

and he was so sweet to her

and funny

and they could talk for hours.

she thought they had a connection.

but she wasn't the one for him...

she should've known.

she should've known she wasn't that special

she should've realized that a guy like him

would never go for a girl like her.

and what hurts the most

is that she actually believed him.

she trusted him

and all he did

was take her heart

and throw it in the dirt.

* * *

it had started off so innocently.

she never even thought

that she had a chance with him.

he was a football player

(it was something out of a modern fairytale,

she thought)

and he was tall

and he worked out

and he was so. damn. attractive.

but she wouldn't let herself believe that last part

because like any cliche,

he was dating a cheerleader.

she never heard good things about her,

but she never really met the girl

so who was she to judge?

anyways,

the football player

he would talk to her in the halls all the time

and he always made her smile

and they always joked around

and she didn't think
