this is to a boy
who held me in the dark
and put up with me
and let me pretend i was something
we were something more than
just two more silly kids
waiting for their first broken hearts.
this is to the boy
who took my heart away
and i don't know where he put it
but i don't care cause i would
do it all again if i just knew i'd be okay.
this is to the boy
whose eyes sparkle, in a way
because he wouldn't take me back
no matter how much i pretended
things were the same and always could be-
this is to the boy
who broke me
and hurt me
and when i told him he was killing me
he didn't stop
this is to the boy
because i am who i am
because he turned my world upside down
and left me to puzzle it out
on my own.
and this is for that boy
because he was my first real kiss
and i loved watching him
when he was angry
or confused.
this is to the boy
because i swore i'd never cry for him again
because i'll never give up on him
because he'll never take me back.
