Once Upon A Time
October 1, 2010
Once upon a time,
We were soul mates.
We played in the trees,
And would swing together.
I loved you.
And the feeling was mutual.
But that was before --
Before you left me.
You never did say good-bye;
Did you know that?
I never forgot you,
Though the other kids did.
Now I wonder,
Did you ever think about me?
I am in eight grade,
And our paths cross again.
I see your haunting eyes.
Everday.
Your never seem to
See mine though.
I think of where we might be,
If you hadn't have left me.
But always,
I am pulled back to reality.
Where dreams die and
Pain grows.
For every time I see you,
I wonder ...
Once upon a time,
We were soul mates.
Now,
We are nothing.

I think this is a cool piece but I don't really get it. It's way too .... what's the word ... way too wordy.
There was a boy at my elementary and that was the biggest reason I went to school without struggle.
I don't talk to him, but I hope he reads this.
I wrote this in the middle of the night, it was sorta wierd.
Anyway, I hope you like it.
