At Least She Hopes

Once upon a time there was a girl. 
A girl who had  a good heart. 
She tried to help everyone. 
Everyone except herself. 
Once upon a time there was a boy.
A boy with a good mind. 
He thought of ways to change the world. 
 He had problems though..he liked to party with drugs. 
That girl ,The one with a good heart.
Went to Camp she was suicidal though..
She walked down stairs to the patio. 
There she walked by a boy. 
The one with a good mind. 
That boy,The one with a good mind. 
He saw her and he said Hello? 
That was when they met. 
Once upon a time there was boy and a girl.
They fell in love. 
The suicidal girl became more and more happy 
But more dependent on him for her happiness. 
The philosophical boy treated her with care 
took her places she had never been which was many 
because she was a small town girl and he was a city boy. 
There were things the girl didn't know about the boy,
he had told her he no longer did drugs...he lied... 
she found out and started to cry...
It wouldn't have bugged her if he would have told her. 
But he didn't. She confronted him. 
He said you act as if ' perfect i didn't want you to think i wasn't. 
 Not even a week later the day before A national holiday 
The boy with a brilliant IQ let the girl with a good Heart go. 
He whispered "Darling the distance is too much,I'm sorry."
 The  phone drops from her hands and She falls to her knees. 
How could this be She whispers. H-he said he loved me. 
The boy yells through the phone. Don't let this ruin guys for you 
Don't pick up a razor and hurt yourself don't harm yourself. 
Then they never talked again. 
 Once upon a time twas a girl and there was a boy 
They Had been in love but their love for each other wasn't enough.
One left the other and the other was left crushed. 
The girl was left and even months later,
 She cant go a day without him on her mind  
She swears he has no hold on her,That shes over him 
She has a new boyfriend He's good to her and he swears his love is true. 
She can't help but doubt that it's a front. 
The boy before him crushed her and he left her. 
Once upon a time there was a broken girl 
she had lost all her trust and she lost what she loved. 
She didn't have a choice in the matter, 
She will always remember him he was her first kiss and her first love, 
But she will heal with time she will heal. 
At least she hopes.. "
