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?
