• First day of school,
    My head held high,
    And I promise myself,
    This year, I’m not gonna cry.

    I thought this would be different,
    A chance to fit in,
    But the delicate threads of popularity,
    Are starting to wear thin.

    I thought I’d never meet another,
    That I’d never love again,
    But darlin’, you’re the only exception,
    ‘Cos you’re more than just a friend.

    I spare you glances,
    I smile and grin,
    But this endless battle,
    I can never win.

    You speak to others,
    But not to me,
    And I’m dying inside,
    Can’t you see?

    The ignorance begins to sting my soul,
    Because it’s you who never speaks,
    And I can’t help but wonder why,
    As tears spill down my reddened cheeks.

    You broke my heart,
    Ripped it in two,
    Left my life in ruins,
    Now I don’t know what to do.

    You watch as I try
    To reassemble it,
    But all these broken pieces,
    Just don’t seem to fit.

    I pray one day,
    That you’ll notice me,
    And maybe you’ll realise,
    What we could be.

    And despite the pain,
    You put me through,
    One thing’s for certain,
    I still love you.
