Shattered Dreams of Love

I used to think that love was beautiful——all sunshine and rainbows——but that idea of love was shattered by a boy named Shawn. He taught me that love can make you feel like you're on top of the world one moment and in the next moment, you an be crushed by it.

I long for the kind of guy that you can come to in sweats, hair a mess, make-up running down my face because I've been crying and despite all this, he says, "Baby, you are beautiful."

One day, I hope to that guy but right, now it seems impossibly out of reach.
