Reality
It was the perfect relationship
The one everyone dreamed about
He was always there for her
She was always there for him
They spent every moment of everyday together
Until one day everything changed
They weren't so perfect anymore
With one simple phone call she was left stranded
No one to hold her when she cried
He meant the world to her
She faces his front door
She seeks the answers
She comes to realize that he is not alone
She turns her head quickly as tears begin to roll down her cheeks
He says she is "just a friend"
For some reason she doesn't believe him
He leaves messages on her phone everyday
He wants her back
He wants to hold her and look into her blue eyes once again
He faces her front door
He seeks the answers
He turns his head as he begins to cry
He learns that she is not alone
She says he is "just a friend"
Is it true?
She knew that it was only a matter of time
Before he came crawling back to her side
He can't possibly live without her
She misses him a lot, but can she take him back?
Or will he hurt her again?
She willingly takes him back
She wants it to be the same as it used to be
Everything was perfect again
She was living her fantasy as her reality
They spent every moment of everyday together
He held her when she cried, and looked into her blue eyes
But then it happened again
He left her stranded
With another simple telephone call
She stands at his front door
Seeking the answers to their crumbled fantasy
She learns that he is not alone
She turns her head as she cries
She learns that she is not "just a friend" she is more
She is everything that he has ever wanted and more
Is it true or is it all a lie?
This time will he crawl back to her side?
She misses him so much
She hears his voice down the hall
But he isn't there
She wants everything the way it used to be
But will it ever happen?
He leaves messages on her phone
He seeks the answers
He misses her so much, he wants it to be the same, the way it used to be
He stands at her front door
Seeking more answers
He turns his head as tears come to his eyes
She is not alone
Is he "just a friend"?
Or is he a lot more?
He is everything she has ever wanted and more
He is everything the other is not
He holds her when she cries
He looks into her blue eyes
He says everything that she wants to hear
Is it too good to be true?
Is he for real?
Will he leave her alone or will he always be there?
Is it all a dream?
If she pinches herself will she wake up...or is her fantasy her reality?
