Once

Once in a blue moon
Once upon a time
Once every other day
Once in a life time
You fall in love
Pray that the "other" loves you too
Pray you don't fall out of love
Pray you live happily ever after
Pray you live forever
        And live a happy life

Once I fell in love
He said he loved me too
We lived in a brick house
Until one day, we moved
Into a paper house
He said he still loved me
After a while, we moved into
A glass house, then someone
Threw a stone and my world
Shattered before me eyes
Could say NO!
I looked over and there
He was, he didn't love me
Anymore.  It turns out,
The brick house and the
Paper house weren't really
They looked strong on the
Outside, but the inside
Was falling apart.
I should have looked more
Carefully.
