Not just another love story

by kevin Boundy AKA the ghost   Jul 18, 2007


This story is proof
That love isn't just a game
You could call it a love story
But it wouldn't be the same

This tragic story
Starts like this
With a unpopular freshman
His name was Chris

He had no friends
No one knew his name
He was a ghost in his school
It really was a shame

But just when he thought
That nobody cared
A girl walked toward him
Whose beauty could not be compared

She sat down next to him
She was so beautiful she made him go insane
He had to ask her name
She said her name was Jane

They talked for what
Felt like forever
Next thing they knew
They were walking to class together

He finally got up the courage
To ask her out
He wasn't sure if he should
He had a reasonable doubt

But he just came out with it
He had to confess
There was a moment of silence before
She said yes

He was so happy
He gave her a kiss
She kissed him back
The only word to describe how he felt was bliss

She brought out the best in him
And he did the same
Before they knew it everyone
Was talking about Chris & Jane

They were the happiest couple in the school
When they were together they always had a smile
Every thing the other did
Made their life worth while

But something strange happened
When Chris when to school the next day
Jane wasn't there
His face went gray

So he called her house
He dialed in a hurry
She said she felt sick
And told him not to worry

On there five year anniversary
They went out on a date
But when they were about to leave
He said wait

He got down on one knee
And grabbed her hand
Reached into his pocket
And pulled out a wedding band

He asked her to marry him
Her face began to glow
But then a frown showed upon her face
And she said no

His heart stung
He was about to cry
But all that he could say
Was why

She started to cry
She didn't want to say
But deep inside she knew
There was no other way

She told him she had leukemia
She only had two more years
Then Chris stood up
And wiped away the tears

He told her if she had two years
i wanted to spend them with you
And she looked into his eyes
And knew his words were true

She said but I don't want to leave you
He said it doesn't matter we'll always be together
no matter what happens
Well be together

she bought a dress
And they were married the next day
Chris was with Jane
And thats where he would stay

They spent a year together
Fighting against her death
They didn't waste any time
They counted every breath

She was in surgery when
Her heart rate dropped
Then she whispered "I love you"
Just as her heart beat stopped

but He couldn't live without her
He went home and he started to write
He wasn't sure how to start
And with tears pouring from his eyes he wrote "Alright...

To my mother
You know why I'm doing this
Because I have nothing to live for
Except unhappiness

To my baby sister
I say to you
I couldn't take it a second longer
I just couldn't make it through

To my younger brother
I will say
It wouldn't have happened
Any other way

And to the world
The world that had no sympathy for me
All I have to say is
remember my story"

he got the gun
He bought for protection
Looked in the mirror
and saw his demonic reflection

he Loaded the gun
As the memories flooded through his brain
Without the girl he loved
He would surely go insane

He remembered his first kiss
With the love of his life
Deep inside he knew
That he couldn't live without his wife

The end was near
Everything was as it should
He was sick of these memories
He would silence them for good

Chris picked up the gun
Put it to his head
Pulled the trigger back and
Then he was dead

All the other stories were
Happy but there pretending
This isn't just another love story
This one has a tragic ending
