for two years i saw you,
passed you ever day in the halls,
i never said hello,
neither did you,
did you even know i existed?
for two years i saw you,
voted most popular,
become a football star,
i wasn't that special,
did you even know i existed?
one day in class,
you were sat across from me,
the one conversation i had with you,
never again did we exchange a word.
when we got our yearbooks,
i was too nervous to ask you for a signature,
i promised myself the next year that i would,
i chickened out then too.
it took you a year to say hello,
it took you a year to notice me,
now that i think of it,
i don't envy you anymore.
you were too wrapped up in yourself to notice me,
one of the ones who admired you from afar,
too you i was another from the crowd,
that's all i was.
that's all i'll ever be to you.
and that's all you'll ever be to me.
