Broken Promises

November 11, 2015
By Anonymous

You look into my eyes
My bright blue hopeful eyes
And tell me
“Hi”
“I think you’re beautiful”
“We should get to know each other”
“I’m starting to have feelings for you”
“I want to be with you”
“Will you be my girl”
“I love you”
“I got you a promise ring”
“I can’t wait to marry you”
“I promise we'll be together forever”
“You mean everything to me”
“We are going to have a family one day”
“I want to grow old with you”
“We are going to be that high school couple that makes it”
“I miss you”
I open my eyes
You are looking into her eyes
Her big brown eyes
And I realize
This is all lies.
