You are so pretty
There is a young schoolboy inside my heart
Who is so wise
and shy
and
*perhaps afraid
(you can eliminate "perhaps")
of his potential
His own greatness
so he hides it
like a little mouse
Tucked gently
in a warm winter coat
Where it is safe and
Carried around
Constantly
Alive
A hidden secret
And he often
Gets crushes
on pretty girls
And
There are those times
His heart
Hurts
And he hides his
Sobbing
beautiful face
Thinking of himself
as
Ugly
Unattractive
Unwanted
And the pretty girls
Laugh unrequitedly
at his
Love notes
Invitations
and failed attempts
before
Valentines day
Homecoming
Prom
Night etc.
And that
Is why
I have such
A hard time
Because
Now
I really know
What true beauty is
Except
You are
also
a
pretty girl
And when I see you
I light up
And
My heart
Hurts
Every
Single
Time.
