An unconventional love poem

Girls say they are looking for the right man, but they look right through me.

 

They say there want someone with similar interests, but they never want to get to know me.

 

So many have come and gone, and they don't know that by pushing me aside, they have taken a part of me. 

 

They take one look at me. 

That's it.

One look.

 

They see someone who enjoys and plays sports, but they immediately think typical jock.

 

They see someone who majors in a word they can't understand and they immediately think nerd.

 

But if they would have sat down and talked with me, they would know the truth.

 

That, yes, I've played sports, but I'm a little shy. 

 

And don't have tons of friends, I'm a close friend kind of guy.

 

Baseball and football are how I pass my time.

 

Heck, I rarely write poems and make them try to rhyme.

 

I've only been horseback riding once, but I would go again, I'll even go again for a date.

 

I feel uncomfortable at big parties, but with close friends, I will stay up late.

 

I spend some time playing video games.

 

But that's just because I love competition. 

 

That last line didn't rhyme. Oh well. It's my poem. I can do what I want.

 

They don't know that I will give them everything I can.

 

I'll be their man.

 

Who holds them tight. Every night. 

 

But I know we'll argue, and once and a while fight.

 

But after it's said and done. I will continue to treat you like the princess you are.

 

It's funny how people always say "don't judge a girl by what's on the outside, but what in the inside."

 

But to be completely honest with you. Both sexes do the same thing.

 

We see someone who isn't drop dead gorgeous and we automatically dismiss them.

 

How do you know he doesn't like the same music, food, movies, sports, art, or interests?

 

You don't. But guess what. He loves everything you do. 

 

And because he wasn't what your physical appearance of Prince Charming, you may have just passed up a better soulmate than the one you end up with. 

 

I sit here at night, and I think of a girl. 

 

A girl who I've spilled my heart and soul out to. 

 

A girl who I believe is perfect for me and I believe I am for her. 

 

She's currently searching for "the one"

 

I know her interests, but she doesn't know mine.

 

Cause she sees that I'm not the kind of guy every girl flocks to.

 

I don't want to get into specifics so I'll keep the message more general. 

 

So when people talk about how guys don't treat girl by their feelings instead of their looks. 

 

Girls, you do the same thing. 

 

Think about the friend you have who always says "Hi, how are you doing today." 

 

And instead of just saying "Hi" and killing the convo.

 

Why don't you ask him how his day is going. 

 

Maybe one day your lives will be doing the same thing.
