Once Upon a Love

They are so young,
The truth they don't know,
They share their tongue,
And they think they grow.

But then she cheated,
And it fell apart,
He laid there defeated,
Surrounded by pieces of his heart.

They used to smile at each other,
With their hearts floating high above,
They never thought they'd love another,
Once upon a love.

They were so happy together,
They thought it would never end,
Not everything lasts forever,
Including love my friend.

He just left her one day,
Since he didn't stand a chance,
He said he didn't want it this way,
For she didn't let him in her pants.

They used to want to soar,
Together on the wings of a dove,
But they were never anything more.
Once upon a love.

Why must love come to an end,
More often then it stays,
Why can we not comprehend,
That love often only lasts for days.

Perhaps we never did understand,
How love never was really there,
We were so caught up in holding hands,
That we forgot that love is more than care.

Love is thinking for that someone,
And never about yourself,
Just hoping they are the one,
That will take your heart off the shelf.

For they are happy how the feeling is "ours",
They want to be together when they are sent above,
And when they die their story will be written in the stars,
When it becomes once upon a love.
