Happy Ever After, Happy Ever After,
Let it go, you never need to know."
We all have had the feeling that we were on top of the world at least once.
Sometimes we fall soon after that feeling.
In this case, I fell too fast, fast enough that I actually felt the pain when I hit ground.
It was somewhat dull, but still there.
I hadn't said anything.
Hadn't done anything.
But I had been something.
Naive.
Maybe being a dreamer is a bad thing.
At least in this case it had been.
I don't know what I'd thought.
He only had me?
There wasn't someone else he could have his eye on?
I was the only one for him?
It would only ever be me?
I guess none of those really were true.
Tall.
Straight, dark brown hair.
Long bangs over black rimmed glasses.
Bumpy nose.
My "twin"?
What had we in common?
We both wore converse?
She seemed offended when he compared myself to her.
Was I offended?
Only by her reaction to me.
She kept her distance.
She didn't talk to me.
But she talked to him.
Stuck to him like glue.
But it was what she said that made my heart sink.
"You guys are, like, twins!" He had exclaimed.
She had moved in a little closer to him. "You mean you want her to be your girlfriend, too?"
He had said nothing.
I had said nothing.
She had laughed.
And at each gust of her rough laughter,
I felt my heart chip into tiny little pieces.
Yeah.
I guess being a dreamer isn't always a good thing.
