A Girl's Dream

There once was a girl,

Once upon a time,

Who sat down at night

And wrote a little rhyme.



She wrote about

Her very first love,

How he was an angel

Sent from above.



He treated her great.

He treated her grand.

Like a princess, in fact,

Always holding her hand.



He was always there

And never told a lie.

He always made her happy

And never made her cry.



Soon the girl realized

It’s not what it seems

For this perfect “first love”

Was all in her dreams.



She gave up on guys

When her dreams didn’t come true.

For no guy is perfect,

No matter what you do.



Now every time she meets a guy

Who’s not a total jerk.

She says to herself

“Hey, this just might work.”



But she always gets hurt

By every single guy,

Cause it’s all just an act.

It’s all just a lie.



Will she ever be happy

With a guy that is right?

Will she ever find love?

Only in her dreams at night.

Sometimes we just want to give up on guys.
