This story has already been written
and I’ve always hated the ending
and yet here we go again
Another Hollywood retread
Let’s hope this time
the writers tweaked the tale
so the poor little lovesick fool
doesn’t suffer quite so much
or for nearly as long
Maybe they even dared enough
to change that horrid ending
(but I wouldn’t hold my breath)
I mean, names and details changed already
so why can’t where this goes
be a brighter, happier moment
than the last version?
Happy endings sell, y’know?
And not everything realistic
has to be all moody and depressing.
Let the love story be requited, for once.
We already see how important she’s become to him
now may she come to realize
that he means just as much to ber
Don’t let this one end in struggle
This story doesn’t have to tell a lesson
All it needs is our two heroes
finding each other
and learning that their lives are better
together rather than apart
Thst simple, that straightforward
No twist, no trick,
no after credits scene
Just a much better ending
than the film that came before
(Have I mentioned how I hated that old ending?)
