When a Girl Tells You She Loves You
A Love Poem
When a girl tells you she loves you
It won’t be the first time you hear this
You'll be surprised that it wasn’t over a text
Instead it'll be on a little note attached to a bunch of roses that aren’t red
Or if you’re lucky, she'll tell you in person but she'll be drunk
Whatever’s the situation, you'll smirk because you don’t believe her
Because you don’t have a reason to
Because those words have been handed to you a countless times before
Each time with a different promise concealed with the same hidden motive
She'll never forget each tiny little detail of the stories you tell her about your past
Just pretend to not recall
When a girl tells you she loves you'll hear sirens
Of every relationship that ended badly, sirens telling you to run
That's when you learned that when a girl says she loves you
It means that she is starting to trust you and your little fables
Forgetting that she's not Cinderella
She'll say she love you and her cheeks will turn red out of shame
And when you’ll hold her in your arms you will feel something pounding against your chest
That embrace will eventually end
Weeks will turn into months, and fall will crust into winter
Nowhere, just out of the blue
You would want to have her in your arms
Would do anything to hear those words again
But all you’ll hear is silence
If you're lucky enough, you'll hear the soft cold snow hitting your window
But you’ll realize that time has passed
And like it always does, it has erased things
And closed once opened doors
And as you think these things through
There will be something damp on your cheeks
Something you used to detest
Something you couldn't stand
It is funny how you're turning into things you could never imagine
It's true
The magic has lifted itself
It ain't a fable anymore
You're mortal again
Her spell did work
Because she meant every single word of it
She wasn’t just another silly girl, remember?
She was Cinderella, remember?
