She turned away from him
Not wanting him to see her tears.
She'd never imagined it would end like this
But now, it was happening.
She always pictured her life with him beside her
She dreamed of city lights and high heels
Every night being date night for them
She dreamed of holding hands and laughing
All while they walked through Central Park
She wanted to take pictures in a photo booth the day before her 23rd birthday
She wanted a real romance.. With him
She imagined how he would propose, in Times Square, not caring who saw
And they would plan their wedding together
She imagined 3 beautiful children growing up in their countryside home in Maryland
With 2 dogs
And maybe a goldfish
She was so positive about her future
That she never even had a doubt
But the truth was staring her in the face now.
He was leaving her
And she had to learn to accept it
