The Golden Story of Regret

There they were,
Quiet but oh, so talkative.
He looks at her, and smiles a smile only few can love.
She glares right back and shows a face of mild disgust.

Oh, what wrong, my dear?
What's wrong?
Is he not the one?
Nor the one for you?

But, my dear,
Why do you have to be so hard-headed?
Because one day, that boy will become something more.
He'll change into something more, more.

The weeks turn into months,
And the months turn into years.
Then, suddenly he's gone.
As if he's disappeared.

See what you did, see what you did for that one word?
What a fantastic reputation.
You broke his heart, you broke his heart for that one word...
Your wonderful reputation.
