My Dream

She's gotta smile

that melts my soul

I can be angry

or upset

but the moment she flashes

those pearly whites

I go fallin' without a net

She makes me blush beat red

sometimes I get so red

that it brings a tear to my eye

The last time she paid me some attention

I got intimidated

from my heart gettin' broken

so many other times

I haven't ever asked her out

and you ask why?

'cause she wouldn't have me

can't you see?

she could do nothin'

but break my heart

and hurt me

I wish I could let the past die

it's the only thing that holds me back

it's the one thing that always

knocks me off track

I even got jealous

when she chose another guy

but how could I?

when I said nothin' at all

now I feel like I'm only

2 inches tall

I can't blame her

for leavin' me behind

I made her a promise

and kept it

it took me too much time

Some harmless flirtin' online

believe me

I hoped that she'd

read between the lines

when I said

I'd jump through firey circus hoops

just for a woman's attention

Let's be honest though

it's really her attention that I want

thought maybe she'd like mine too

then again probably not

Haven't talked to her

for a few days now

except for sayin' "hey" or "what's up?"

she just smiles

nods her head

and flies right on by me

just my luck

I probably went and screwed

things up

somehow, someway

I always come up short

I try to stay confident

but for most women

I'm always not the right guy

or even of the sort

I've become very quiet now

a lot of people

don't know why

It's 'cause my heart's breakin'

once again

as always

I already have the pain inside

So now

I no longer know what to say

or even where to begin

I now think

that I should just simply walk away

and let it come to an end

But I hope that one day

while I'm walkin' away

that she'll come runnin' to get me

and actually want to keep me

and want me to stay

This is My Dream

I now have it on display
