Every Rose Has It's Thorn (True Story)

Peter Hegenauer

Eventually she told me she loved me again and we danced together at the Winter Dance. The song was Every Rose Has It's Thorn by Poison. After that she told me she didn't love me anymore. Then after Christmas Break I found out she was in a car wreck. I was depressed and cried myself to sleep reading the letters we'd sent back and forth while we were still together. Then at the final dance of the school year she showed up. I was so happy I asked the dj to play the song I'd danced to her with all those months before. Unfortunately when the song started I found her in the arms of her new boyfriend! I was so upset I went to the sidelines of the dance floor and cried until my eyes were sore. I still love her and it's been about three months since I last saw her. And every time I here our song I think of her and cry
