she saved every letter as most girls do
she kept every proof that he cared
(he didn’t care)
she fell for the lies of his deep blue eyes
and filled up blank pages with his name
(he called her babe)
she sobered herself with lonely nights
and found a reason to believe the truth
(he was sorry)
she stole her back heart and finally reached his
she was walking away when he fell for her
(he loved her)
she was tempted to turn his lesson was learned
she didn’t look back, she was free
(he was too late)
