A New Start


I met a boy on the first day of school He had big brown eyes and a crooked smile I scoffed at him at first But then we talked for awhile 6 months later, he's a my best friend He says what we have, it will never end And being who I am, I believe him But we discover reality Get into a fight The boy I thought meant nothing Left me crying late at night My daddy used to play with me We liked to play hockey, and ski Now he is remarried And doesn't have time for me The girls I thought were my friends Made fun of me behind my back Pointing out my flaws And everything that I lack My mother said forget them Find a better friend I didn't listen to her, and cried This must be the end But just when I thought I was torn apart Another boy with brown eyes walked in A new start.
