Fairy tale "usual"

"She" started talking to me online some days ago
After a while she knew who I was
But I guess she doesn’t know
Because of all the people in the world
She asked me for advice where to go with her boyfriend because it was their anniversary
You might wonder who "she" is
Well let me tell you the story
Once upon a time,
There was a girl that was madly in love with a boy
And even though he broke her heart, time after time
She always let him back in
Or went after him
Because she was weak
Because she was scared
Because she was alone
Because she missed him
Because she was a fool, madly in love
Then one night he told her
That he wanted her and that he wanted her to be his girlfriend
He promised to call or come by
And the next time she saw him she invited him over
But he said he wouldn't promise anything
Her phone never ringed and he never showed up on her doorstep
She heard that he had started talking to a girl
And she just felt that she was losing him again
After a week she told him
"Tell me it's over, tell me you have someone new"
"Why should I, nobody knows about us"
"It doesn't have to do shit with the world, it's about ME and YOU, I just want you to tell me the truth"
"Ok, I don't want anything with you anymore!!!!!! Happy??????"
"Yes"
"Anyway I have a new girlfriend now and I really like her so I'm not going to fuck it up"
"That sounds like a dare, and you know I never try to be with you when you have a girlfriend"
"I know, but even if you do, it won't work"
"And in the past how many times haven't you fucked it up with your girls to be with me"
After that she didn't cry a tear
But in the months to come she started missing him and cried rivers of tears
Now the girl that got her heart broken; is me
"she", who asked me for advice; is the girl my first love left me for
And the Boy; is my first love and her boyfriend
I really thought that he would come back, like he always did
I really thought he was talking shit when he said he really liked her
But I guess, No I know, I was wrong
because he's still with her, and never looked back at me
So when she asked me where she should go out for her anniversary
What flashed thru my mind was "6 months + one week ago he was still making promises to me"
I think of her as "the other girl" But right now, i'm "the other Girl"
And those two lived happily ever after
