once upon a time there was a couple
this couple seemed incredibly happy
everyone thought that they were in love
and that they might just make it
and they thought so too
they promised each other forever
he thought she meant it
she thought he meant it
then life intervened
he changed
like he said he wouldn't
she stayed the same
like she said she would
it wasn't the same
he wanted better
prettier
happier
nicer
BETTER
she wanted HIM
and to be loved
and cared for
they were both disappointed...
now a year has gone by
and they're best friends
she seems fine
he seems fine
they both seem fine
but if you look closely
close enough to see the cracks
you'll be able to see
the falter in her smile
the tremble in her laugh
and the sadness in her eyes
you'll see she's not satisfied
you'll see the love still there
hidden under the friendship
you'll see she wants
to redo the past
change something
anything
to make him stay this time
but she smiles
and acts like its alright
and she loves being
just friends
because her love
was so strong
and so true
that when she said forever
she meant it with all her heart
even if forever
was only to be fulfilled
by being just friends
