"The Good Guy"

The one you can run to

and will lend a helping hand.

The one who will

when your in trouble take a stand.

He's the guy who understands

the guy you cry to.

He comforts you and wipes your tears

and tells you what to do.

But he's just the good guy

not the hot guy that girls want.

Not the model that, his muscles,

he must always flaunt.

He's just the good guy

Mr. Reliable through and through.

The one guy no matter what

you can always go to.

He's just Mr. Good Guy

not ever Mr. More Than Friend.

He's just the one, for you

the rules he will bend.

He's the guy with the compliments,

that makes you feel good.

But why isn't the good guy

ever treated like they should?

They're always in the shadows

and never in the lovers light.

They're always in the distance

and never in plain sight.

He's just the dream

that meant nothing at all.

He's the guy

that can never fall.

The good guy's the romantic one

that every girl looks for.

But they go for jerks with killer bods

and run shirtless on the sea-shore.

If he's one of those Mr's

that are alone until he dies.

Then I would give anything

to not be one of the good guys.

This was a GREAT poem.
If you're one of those good guys,
we need more people like you in the world!

Excellent job/keep up the good work.
