Silly Girl

You got your hopes up again, didn't you?

I really thought you would have learned by now after everything you went through.

You need to get it out of your head that it is ever going to happen because it's not,

And you really should start trying more to prevent those feelings from ever being caught.

You and I both know it is never going to work out the way you have planned in your mind,

Because no matter how hard you try, you are just not that kind.

You are not the kind of girl who gets the fairy tale happy ending,

And all the love letters you write, you are just better off not sending.

You and I both know it will only embarrass you in the end,

When you discover the people you love more than anything don't even see you as a friend.

You are not the one who gets chosen,

And it is better for everyone is the feelings you have are left frozen.

That is the only way that you can ensure your feelings don't get hurt,

And make sure that you are not left picking up the pieces off your heart that were crushed into the dirt.

You are not the girl who gets the love that you hope,

Because all it does is leave you feeling broken and finding new ways to cope.

Every day you put on a face, and you walk around with a big smile,

And no one can see that it is a mask, not within a mile.

You are so good at faking it, it truly is scary,

And you have come to accept that maybe you are not the person who gets to marry,

The love of your life, or your long time sweetheart,

And you've given up on your wedding day, or even dreaming about a love being able to start.

You have come to find that love was not part of your chapter,

But maybe there is something more that you should be after.

Maybe you can't find love because you are meant to fulfill all your dreams,

And one day you will be able to find out what all this pain truly means.

You have the story that is going to change lives because of your resilience and power,

And one day the seed that was planted will bloom into a beautiful flower.

With each petal you lose, a new one will sprout,

And you will finally be able to figure the whole thing out.

That the hurt and the pain brought you to where you belong,

And the whole time you had your story all wrong.

Your purpose was something so much greater than you ever expected,

And you will see how it is all connected.

That finally achieving your dreams brought you to where you are supposed to be,

And in that, you will finally meet the one that you could not see.

In achieving your dreams, you found the love you had been looking for,

And you are thankful for all the closed doors.

Right now, it hurts, but one day everything will fall into place,

That it was the dreams, not the love, that you were supposed to chase.
