Once Upon A Time

Once Upon a Time
there was a girl very much in love with a man,
but she was very afraid to tell this man,
and still very afraid of what she was,
capable of doing and capable of being,
So she tried to hide from this man,
and she left this man for a month,
For some odd reason this girl couldn't understand,
the man was still waiting for her,
to swoop her off her feet and take her away,
and make her's his forever and ever.

The girl couldn't believe this fairytale,
So she hid away again,
not realizing that the man she loved,
more than anything she was crushing,
more and more with each passing day,
Finally the man asked the girl a question,
not even she could answer,
"Why don't you ever talk.."
The silent girl thought for awhile and,
couldn't even come up with an answer,
she just smiled and looked down,
The man very hurt,
by always getting the same reaction,
left for awhile to calm down,
so that he would not regret something,
that would end up for the worse.

As the man left,
the girl sat there,
and as tears,
streamed down her cheeks,
she herself wondered,
"Why don't I ever talk.."
She realized that through all she had been,
her heart was not as strong,
as it once used to be,
The girl once remembered a man,
who she had had not as strong,
feelings for as the one she was with,
but the feelings were that,
of the same origin,
"I loved that man not as much as,
the one I'm with now.."
But she remembered that,
a long time ago,
that same girl had left that other man,
a very long time ago,
that she had been scared,
of such feelings,
and was young,
and wouldn't think it would last.

After those days,
she promised herself she would,
never run from those feelings again,
and she cried bitter tears,
as she realized her promise,
was being broken right now,
"I'm not gonna give up,
I'm not gonna run from him,
I did it once,
I'll never do it again,
I love him more than anything,
and that's the way it will stay,
no more hiding or running,
or being afraid of these feelings,
it's time to embrace,
these feelings that make me so real.
I love this man more than anything,
and I will never let him go."

So the girl ran to the man,
and she told him she was sorry,
she cried tears,
and hoped that,
he would accept her apology,
and not throw her away...
