My Brooding Personality

Folder: 
Dedications

Only when we're alone

is

when I want to kiss you

behind the staircase

in the boiler room

is

when I can get next

to you

you are so smart

so pretty

with your red hair

flowing

your mediocre clothes

that fit you in all

the right places

I know

that I ignore you

when my friends are around

I don't want to seem

like I am

with you

but

I am

your friends think you're

crazy

to be in love with me

that girl with the stringy

hair

wants you to get away from

me

your best guy friend

thinks that you

deserve better

but

you wait for me

patiently

cutting class just to get

a glimpse of me

and

even though I appreciate it

my brooding personality

prevents me from

letting

you inside my soul

but

you see through it

  anyway...
