a poem that reguires strikethrough WHICH I CAN ONLY GET WITH A POST NOT COMMENTS

This is the story of a girl
Who crossed out each sentence
And was always looking for more
This is the story of a boy
Who didn't know what to do
And all he knew was he'd give anything
To see that girl smile
This is the story of a girl
Who always tried again
And each time, she fell back down
This is the story of a boy
Who cried to see her fall
And he always reached out his hand
To her, although she never saw it
This is the story of a girl
Whose eyes were clouded with fears of rejection
And she never saw that he would say yes
This is the story of a boy
Who was practical enough to try other girls
And although they were all very sweet
To none of them, he felt the love he felt for her
This is the story of a girl
Who fell so far one day, she was forced to look away
And instead of all things bad, she saw him
This is the story of a boy
Who thought he had finally found true love
And he was so immersed in moving on, he forgot about her
To which, he promised he'd never do
This is a story of a girl
Who cried when she saw what she had been missing
And she couldn't move one, there wasn't anything to move
To
This is the story of a boy
Who was completely oblivious to the pain he was causing
And if he had known, it would have destroyed him
This is the story of a girl
Who gave up
And now, her sight wasn't obscured by the bad
To her, everything was dark and dismal
This is the story of a boy
Whose heart was shredded into a million pieces by the girl he thought had fixed everything
And when he couldn't find the girl he had loved before, he became frightened
This is the story of a girl
Who lost her self
And she couldn't hear anything, she was deaf to her own tears
To this day, she would still be lost if it wasn't for him
This is the story of a boy
Who realized that she was the only one for him
And she wasn't here anymore
This is the story of a girl
Who saw him lift the knife in front of everybody
And heard him scream to the world that he was done
To which, she had ever thought he'd do
This is the story of a boy
Who was so angry that he had let her down
That he lifted up his own sentence, and it almost killed him
This is the story of a girl
Who yelled, "Stop!" when she was mute
And she raced out to where he was when she was paralyzed
To save her love, because no one else could
This is the story of a boy
Who saw her running towards him
And immediately dropped the knife, because her dark veil had faded
To hold her in his arms, because she was, once again, a light
This is the story of a girl
Who, as she ran, felt the color come back in her life
And as she ran, he asked, "Why?"
This is the story of a boy
Who had been slowly fading just like her
And he had not known it until that moment
This is the story of a girl
Who stopped when he asked, "Why?"
And replied where the world could hear her--even though,
To hear her say this, all these people could make her life miserable
This is the story of a boy
Who saw that girl stop
And was frightened that she wouldn't know and that she'd leave
This is the story of a girl
Who had to yell so that he'd hear her, from so far away
And for once she didn't mind
To find that voice, and to this day, she's not sure how she did it
This is the story of a boy
Who couldn't move for lack of air
And felt like these few seconds were years that he stood
To wait for her to say, what he'd always wanted to hear
To wait for her to break the spell, for he'd repeat it too

This is the story of a girl
Who stopped crossing each sentence out
When she yelled to the world
With her arms held up high
And all opened up wide
She yelled to the sky
Her ace held a smile, as it hadn't in months
And answering that boy's question was all she needed to stay alive
And she ran, and she ran,
And yelled,
"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU THAT'S WHY!"
