Penny For Your Thoughts

[justlilolme06]

I'll bet
You've never been proposed to Miss O.
Have you?

Yes,
Believe it or not, 
I have been
asked to marry someone.

What'd you say?

No, right?

Wrong again. I
said yes.
Thought I'd found my
prince charming.
Had a beautiful ring with
sparkling daimonds, a wedding
half 
way
planned.

What happened?

Sigh. I'd be rich if 
I had a dime for the millions
of times I'd been
asked this.

Sometimes people are
not who you 
think they are.
You let someone into your heart and 
you're taking the chance 
of them breaking it
shattering it
demolishing it
crushing it 
into a million pieces. And
it hurts.
A lot.

They pause. A dozen
little eyes gleaming
back at their
teacher
the one that
finally lost it.

Recovering. Its not
always that way though.
That's why finding a husband is
such hard
work. You have to make sure
you found
just the right one. Sometimes
people, even friends will
lead you to believe 
that they're something
or someone
they're not.

How do you 
know then? Really
know?

Ten year old children shouldn't be
aren't supposed to be
so inquisitive.

I'm not sure. You
just have to trust a 
person. And 
love them with all your heart.
You'll just know.

I want to call
bullshit
on myself.
I hate that answer.

What about your friend 
now? Is he your
boyfriend? Do you
love
him? Will you
marry 
him?

I don't know
yet. I wish I 
knew. Wish
I could tell
you. 
Maybe he'll break 
my
heart.
Maybe he'll just be
my 
friend.
Maybe he'll
love me though.
Maybe he is
it. 
Maybe not though.
Too soon.
Can't let head think
what heart might feel.
Can I be brave
again?
Can I trust a 
boy
again?

My heart 
might not
last.

Faith, hope,
and love.
And the
greatest of 
these is
love.
Really?
