Angela's space

Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing
If a guy punches you ,he likes you
Never try to trim your own bangs
And someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your own happy ending
Every movie we see
Every story we're told
Implores us to wait for it
The third act twist:the unexpected declaration of love
The exception to the rule
But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending
We don't learn how to read the signs
How to tell the ones who want us from the ones who don't
The ones who stay from the ones who will leave
And maybe this happy ending dosen't include a wonderful guy
Maybe it's you
On your own
Picking up the pieces and starting over
Freeing yourself up for something better in the future
Maybe the happy ending is just
Moving on
Or maybe the happy ending is this:
Knowing that through all the unreturned phone calls
And brokenhearts
Through all the blunders and misread signals
Through all of the pain and embarrassment
You never,ever,gave up hope.
