One

It takes one.

One glance from a cute boy to make a teenage girl think he's interested.
One hello to make her think they're getting to know each other,
One touch on the arm to make this girl think he likes her.
It takes one night to make her think she's in love,
and one date to make her believe it with all of her heart.
One bouquet of roses to make her think she's got the best,
One "I love you" to make her think she's set for life.
And sometimes, she's right.



But sometimes,
it takes one glare from this boy to make her think there's something wrong,
One goodbye to make her think they're falling apart,
One moment of having an empty hand to make this girl think he doesn't like her anymore.
It takes one night to make her think she's falling out of love,
it takes one fight to make her believe it with all of her heart.
One slammed door to make her think she's got the worst,
One "I can't do this" to make her think it's over, so over.
And sometimes, she's right.

**Aside from the first half, this has nothing to do with my real life situation right now - just saying, just in case :)
