Chapter 1 - He Loves Me Not

Dear Pillow,
I'm sorry for the tears.
Dear Fists,
I'm sorry for the fights.
Dear Eyes,
I'm sorry for the crying.*
Dear Conscience,
You were right.

Love's not a movie.
There's no climax,
just a plot.
But in the end,
I guess he loves me.
He loves me...
he loves me not.


Oh, friends of mine,
they have their stories
of boyfriends of the past.
They throw them around
like skipping stones--
each sinking just like the last.

Dear friends,
it wasn't meant to be.
Dear parents,
no texting for tonight.
Dear Status,
there's been a change of plans.
And dear Conscience,
you were right.


Love's not a movie.
There's no climax,
just a plot.
But in the end,
I guess he loves me.
He loves me...
he loves me not.


I pick at flowers
and watch the petals fly__
I hope one day(3)
I'll be that free!
I watch the sun go down,
I watch the sky turn pink
and wait for the day(3)
he loves me.

Dear fifth grade,
that boy was only_ fake.
Dear eighth,
he doesn't know enough is enough.
Dear tenth grade,
he wasn't meant to be.
and dear Now,
don't forget to remind me

Love's not a movie.
There's no climax,
just a plot.
He'll always say
he loves me,
he loves me...

he loves me not.
