smile softly

By toy soldier

there once was a girl
who thought she was ugly inside
but along came a boy
who saw the beauty her eyes failed to hide

three little words
is all the boy wanted to say
but insted of sharing his feelings
the girl hid herself away

the boy's had just a taste
of what he cant keep
but that hurts the girl
just a little too deep

they have taken this to far
in matters of the heart
so they smile softly
as they push themselves apart

    *too deep... and *themselves... Sorry. I try not to be an asshole about editing issues, but this piece is too good to not be flawless.
