And finds she likes him
This cute and funny guy.
They end up talking
Fondness grows
She dreams until it hurts.
She thinks she wants him
To be hers
She thinks she's ready.
She flirts and laughs
And smiles a lot
And one day, he asks her out.
Suddenly reality hits
She's lost without a clue.
"This is awkward!
What do I say?!
I don't know what to do!"
This is
A first for her
She's scared and skittish here
Regretting ever falling hard
Because now she's got to follow through.
Butterflies all over
It's hard to face the day
There, that's him, he's here now
"I don't know what to say!"
Uneasy feelings of remorse
"What did I get into?"
The wish to just go back a week
To before any of this...
Wait.
Stop.
This isn't right.
"I shouldn't feel this way."
She thinks.
"I should enjoy my boyfriend
Not rue the day he asked me!
But I can't help the way I feel
And I feel trapped with him!"
Three weeks go by, she tries
But finally it's time to say:
"It's not fair to lead you on.
I don't feel the same.
I thought I did but now I know
Just know you're not to blame!
I know that I'm not being fair
But I can't help my feelings
I'm sorry - you did nothing wrong
It's me that needs the healing
I hope you know I'm sorry
Can we still be friends?
I still think that you're really sweet
I'd hate if this were the end."
She wrote a letter saying so
And made it very sweet
She gave it to him
Heavy heart
Wait for him to read.
Tick, tock, the clock goes by
Full of nervous feelings.
Finally she sees him
Angry glint in his eyes.
"Make it clear!"
He says to her
"What are you trying to say?"
"I'm breaking up with you.
I'm sorry I feel this way."
If looks could kill she would be dead
"I knew it." he said.
He walks away, here yelling after him
"Don't talk to me!" Instead.
All day she is ignores
Except for poison glances
The guilt is crippling
But, strangest thing
Her butterflies are clearing.
She feels much better in her heart
She is finally free
No man to have to live for
"I can finally be me!"
So though her ex still hates her
And prob'ly always will
She can't help her grinning
It's the way she's meant to be.
