The Boy Who Never Truly Loved Part 18

I go to his cave more
Once every couple of days
I try to forget about him other times
And I also try to bring up Shadow Girl
She truly loves him
I used to
Being in my tree for so long has gotten to me
I can’t think of him the same way I used to
I don’t think I can love him as much
But
Then I see his face in the cave
Smiling bright and beaming
I did make a promise to myself though
We will only be friends
I can’t betray Shadow Girl
On top of that
I’ve met an Englishman
He’s a musician
His instrument is a cello
And he plays it so gracefully
He’s always in the field
Skipping and jumping and as happy as can be
His smile is infectious
His hair as wavy as the sea
I’ve met him once
But we’ve started talking and he seems amazing
Like the perfect guy
I think I love him
And if he asks me to go out in the sun with him
I will
