A Boy I Once Knew


A boy I once knew was as kind as George Clooney & sweeter than a candy cane. A boy who wanted to impress his parents & never gave up hope. A boy who was taller than the Eifel Tower & was perfect for me. A boy who made my heart beat faster than a speeding train & I could talk to about anything. A boy I still love and care about & has moved on like a jet plane. A boy who broke my heart, shattered like glass & changed my view on life like crystal. A boy who seems to want more than I can give & looks at me with hate A boy who used to love me, once cared & wanted me to believe he still does. A boy I once believed in & loved me unconditionally. A boy who left me in the dusty Sahara & cheated a few times. A boy who I forgave & understood his issues. A boy who I’ll always be there for like a tree & be that shoulder to cry on that he never was. A boy I once knew as gorgeous as McDreamy & athletic as can be. A boy I love once & now beginning to forget.
