A Broken Fairytale

Once upon a time, Almost 6 years ago, A boy met a girl With his best friend in toe. This boy and this girl Became young love in its essence. His best friend became what some would call Her own personal hidden blessing. His devotion for his friend Couldn't quite bring him to confess, But he cared about that girl enough, To warn her of future distress. After 3 long years, Of the back and forth romance, Their young love finally ended, The girl was broken hearted and defenceless. She had given her all To someone who was only willing to take it. The best friend tried to warn her, But she couldn't see her lover fake it. A year would pass, Before the best friend would find, His best friend's ex, The one he longed to say was "mine". A birthday of hers Was his golden opportunity. When he missed her night out, He offered to take her to a movie. She wrestled with the thought: Do I open that door? She kept pushing it off, Until she couldn't avoid it anymore. Neither one of them expected, Or even could dream Of all that would come From one night, one movie. A love affair of sorts, Filled with constant ups and downs, But despite their best efforts, They couldn't help but stick around. A year and 2 months Of the greatest love that ever lived, Was shared between these two, Who were only just kids. Neither one of them was ready, They didn't know what to do, They loved so deeply, But this experience was so new. A girl with a broken heart, With no sense of true self worth, Met a boy with a broken heart, And the desire to move forth, With her by his side, Forever hand in hand, Yet she felt she didn't deserve him, And did what she could: she ran. Now her love for him consumes her, But his heart is in pieces. Now he's too afraid of her But his love he swears never ceases. And she cries herself to sleep at night, For the best friend she hurt foolishly. And she prays for their future together, The one he says can never be.
