Your Love Seems To Be In Short Supply.

You told her you loved her.
She believed it, you know.
Thought you saw something special.
In her mind? In her soul?

And you're still a good guy,
But you did break her heart.
It wasn't too careful,
Playing darts in the dark.

But what do you care?
You didn't get hurt.
Guess three months was your limit,
Then her love was cut short.

The transformation began.
She wanted you back.
Tried so hard to make up
For the things that she lacked.

She's changing so fast.
One short summer, it took.
So pretty now.
Do you like how she looks?

So half a year later,
You're out with your friends.
And a beautiful girl asks you,
"Hi, how's it been?"

You don't know who she is,
But you answer, "It's been fine."
And she knows what you're thinking,
Deep down in your mind.

A quick little smile, then
She's gone, just like that.
The guys all applaud you.
A pat on the back.

Realization sets in.
Can't believe your own eyes.
Your mind flashes back
To your final goodbyes.

What a thoughtless mistake.
You left her in tears.
No comforting words from you
Ever reached her ears.

So here's to the guys
Who give up based on looks.
You don't mean a thing,
Just another page in the book.
