his eyes twinkle when he laughs
and my heart sighs as he walks by
and i can't help but think what it'd be like
if he were mine
the curl of his hair and his lips as he smiles
are almost as perfect as the sound of his voice
i know i'm still a kid
but what do you lose from loving?
but i guess i should give up
he'd never like someone like me
besides we never even talk
and the last time i tried it turned to dust
because i can't seem to keep a conversation going without playing a game of twenty questions and annoying the hell out of someone
besides he's going to high school next year
besides i'm going to high school soon and i'll find someone else
but a year would be enough
to ease my soul
but it all comes back
to the fact
that he doesn't think my eyes twinkle
his heart doesn't sigh for me
he doesn't even think about me
my hair and my lips aren't perfect to him
and my voice is just as annoying as nails on a chalkboard
sorry
