Finger Prints on my Heart

Once upon a time there was a boy

and there was a girl

And the boy loved the girls very much

and the girl loved the boy in return

And the boy gave her his heart

And they talked and they walked and they were happy

But all was not

As time went by and the ocean of land between them grew bigger

the girl had to stop

and so, as gently as possible,

she broke his heart and placed it back in his chest

and left

Now the boy though he was strong

that he would be alright

that soon enough he would forget

As time went by he tried

he surely tried

he tried as hard as he could

He met another girl

He focused on other things

He left the country

but it didn't help

he would not, and could not forget

the girl whose finger prints were on his heart
