It's been ten years now and I've programmed my brain to forget her little did I know that I was deceiving myself.

Things changed when I saw her.
She looked different. She wasn't the same little girl I had fallen in love with. She was now a grown woman.

She was gorgeous.
I needed her beneath me just for one night. I'd get her out of my system and move on.

That was probably a lie.

Months later.

Here I am drowning my sorrow in alcohol on my last night as a single man.
I was getting married to a woman I never truly loved.

Tara gave me a shy smile as she approached the aisle with her father.

Kelsey looked away and ignored me.

I was about to slide the ring on Tara's finger and her father's voice stopped me.

"Stop."

I turned around and faced him.

Tara grabbed his hand angrily.

"Dad what are you doing?!"

IN MY DARKEST HOUR YOU ARE MY LIGHT

During the summer holiday I had desperately missed Marcus but my conscience wouldn't let me call him.


It kept taunting me and I didn't want to look clingy. We were just friends to him but I felt like it was more than that.


I really liked Marcus but I don't know if he feels the same way about me.


Maybe I shouldn't get my hopes since it's just a high school crush.


I was that type of girl he dreamed about a prince charming that would come along in my life. He would sweep me off my feet and I would madly fall in love with him.


We'd get married and have kids and finally live happily. 


Nobody cried (cried, cried, cried, cried)
