That Tiny Little Town

From April 10, 2007:

Move on, they said.
Start your life over again.
It should be easy, they said,
To forget that silly boy.
He broke her heart and crushed her spirit -
It should've been easy to let him and that tiny little town go.

She left after that endless summer,
Escaping that tiny little town
Faster than the leaves could fall to the ground.
She ran to get away, to spread her wings and fly,
But no one knew she'd never come back -
at least not all of her.

She's made a new life, just like they said,
And it seems she's happy again.
But you couldn't guess that she's missing something,
A part of herself is stuck in that tiny little town -
the piece of her heart that remembers a silly boy,
and a moonlit night when he taught her to love - to really live.
