it started off just the way it should
he was perfect
everything I’d ever wanted
with his pretty eyes that shifted ocean and forest
his golden hair like rays of sun
his kind soul
this boy was supposed to be my fairytale ending
where the princess gets the prince
and they live happily ever after
in this story, the evil witch won
heartbreak and cruelty overcame the power of love
now back to where this whole ordeal started
this boy was everything id ever wanted
he was perfect in every way that id imagined
he shared my interests
talked to me about his hopes and dreams
wed talk late into the spring nights
staying up to build little houses and homes
his contagious laugh echoing through my headphones
stuck in my mind up until now
every single world we created he started
now I’ve lost access to my safe solace
i cant play that game anymore without breaking inside
because that’s where he first gave me flowers
then came the night
i acted upon my heart’s strongest feelings
it may seem small but I added him on social media
and when he added me back my heart bloomed
the very next day this sweet boy told me that my feelings were reciprocated
that he was willing to give me his heart if I gave him mine
of course I said yes
this was all I wanted
to be in love
to fall in love
once I claimed my faithfulness he asked if id do him the honour of going out
in my head that little bit of fear said “no”
i blamed it on my parents not letting me out off the house
keeping me in a box
but I knew that i could easily just go out on tuesdays
instead we walked
the friday of that awkward stroll arrived
i tried to run and hide again
what do I say?
what if I scare him off?
the whole lap I practically cowered
it was awful
by the time I got back to the start I hated myself
what had I done
i ran back to 717 and found my girl
she comforted me when I broke down
held me while I cried
i blamed it on me
i shouldve known better to trust again
That night he texted me
saying that he was sorry
that it was his fault
i smiled like the joker reading that message
instantly happy again
mind drifting off during drills
his smile, that beautiful smile
his eyes, those beautiful eyes
they always saw me and made me feel special
those morning and goodnight texts coming daily
I felt so happy
so at peace
A purple and yellow dinosaur was my thanks to him
it was perfect for months
but it just all had to come crashing down
one day he stopped texting
I didn’t hear from him for months
until I locked eyes with him in the hallways
first day at school
his eyes were still so beautiful
they regarded me with the highest
like he didn’t leave me heartbroken
now he’s completely gone
four months later and he’s in love again
with a girl much prettier
and everything he’s ever wanted
