Love That Failed
I was with this boy once…he was so perfect, smart, funny, charming, and GORGEOUS. He was really nice to me, and seemed to genuinely like me for me. I’m insecure about my looks. I think I’m fat, too short, have too small of a chest, too dark, and I have acne. But he didn’t seem to care.
He would talk to nobody but me. He called me every night and we’d talk for HOURS about everything. When he was around me, I felt good about myself, not like a shy, ugly, nerdy overweight girl. And so I fell in love.
One day he asked me to a dance. I was thrilled! I spent hours preparing for the dance, wearing a dress, doing my hair, putting on perfume, the works. It was so troublesome, but I did it all for him. I would do anything for him. At long last, I was done, and when I went in to the gym, where the dance was, he saw me. He came over, took my hand, and said, “You look amazing.”
I blushed like mad. He hung around me, and we started talking. We were laughing and joking, and I was having a good time….and then my friend came over. She’s slim, pretty, smart, everything you would want in a girl. Next to her, I’m nothing. She introduced herself in a charming way and that was it. He spent the rest of the night by her side instead, leaving me behind.
When I saw them start slow dancing to a romantic song, I left.
As I drove back home I struggled to keep from crying over him. Why should I cry over him? I thought. He’s just a silly shallow little boy . But it still hurt.
I turned on the radio to try to get my mind off things, and there it was, the song they had been dancing too. I turned off the radio, pulled into my driveway, got out and ran inside. I ran to my room, put my face in my pillow, and let it all out.
My mom heard the noise from ownstairs and called up to ask why I was home so early. I pulled myself together just long to enough to lie that I was tired, and that I was playing some music. This satisfied my parents, and they left me alone. My pillow was wet. My face was covered with tear stains. I tried to wipe them away, but when my sleeve brushed my nose, I smelled his cologne on it. That set me off again. I tried to stop.
I was ANGRY, I shouldn’t be sad over such a loser. But a little voice in my head replied, But you love him. That’s why it hurts…and I knew I did. I thought about him almost every waking moment.
I kept his picture in a locket I wore every day. I treasured all the little notes he had written me. When I was around him, my heart fluttered so hard I wondered whether it would burst out of my chest . But in the end, he still left me for that pretty girl.
It’s six months after that night. They’re still together. Whenever I see them pass, holding hands, or kissing tenderly under a tree, I have to take a deep breath and turn away. I don’t want people to see me crying. I cry for him every night. I don’t talk to my friend much anymore. I’m not sure we’re even friends anymore. Sometimes in the night, I get up and check my messages, holding out in the faint hope that he wants me back.
It hasn’t happened. I don’tt know if I’ll ever get over him. This was a love that failed. I fell in love with him, but he didn’t with me. And I wonder whether I will ever find my happy ending.

to the aouthor of this story… i feel for you. but what you have to understand is that whatever doesnt kill you can only make you stronger. im not saying that i have been though more than you but ive been though sumting like that and i know how that feels. You become so indifferent not caring about things anymore. I was driven away from basically my life because i got rejected but ive learned that every1 is different so there is so much more out there to experience. Take ur tyme and grieve but dont let it consume you. The best thing for you to do is be surrounded by friends and be social.

uh,.that was sad. . very sorry. . but my comment goes like this. . truly, physical attributes don’t matter to someone who loves you. .I think when he seemed to like you and asked you to dance, maybe he was just enjoying your company. . because probably you are a nice girl, that’s why. .and when you fell in love wit him, you were happy for it. .assuming that he feels the same way. . .sometimes, it hurts to assume about one’s feelings for you. . .because if you fail, it would surely break your heart. .right? How can you love someone who doesnt love you?
know something, love is a state ov mind.. you will forget if you try doing so. . .don’t be sad if they are still together. .if he’s meant for you, then fate would find ways. . . perhaps someday. . .
just wait for the right time. . .true love waits..they say…
just enjoy your life now… be optimistic,, try to look at the brighter side ov something for you to have the reason to move on. . but never “let go” because really, there’s no such thing as “letting go”. . .only moving on..
try to listen to this song. .i hope it won’t add the pain you feel
@ YOUTUBE.COM<——-”Feels Like Home” the first video to appear.. Click it
do not let your heart to be broken just because ov that guy..there’s really a man out there who truly deserves your love..try to glance at the people around you…maye he’s just waiting for a sign.. (,’0)
smile girl! wish you a happy ending love story.. i hope it wouldn’t fail again..

oh ….. that is like sooo much like me in every way.
there was this guy his name was Codey and we went out
and i realy dident think that i was pretty in any way.
Im short, phat, ugly , flat chested and ect..
and i had a feeling that he like this girl that alll the guys liked cause she was shinnie, definitly NOT flat chested, and was like that all the girls wanted to be (her name was melina).
we went to a disco and we danced but he keeped looking at melina when we where dancing.
A week later i had a feeling that he like melina and it turned out that
he liked her and only liked me 35% and that we had been lining up for melina all year and that he went out with meonly cause it was a dare.
im crying rite now cause i was so blind and that i dident relize that he was a azz all along.
