New

Everything fades away
Except that feeling that I get every day
When with you

You teach me new things
every time I see you

At one point my eyes used to be closed
And my mind was shut
I wasn’t open to new ideas
I didn’t let anything in

I knew I was stubborn
I didn’t want my heart to go through the pain
It had in the past

I had been hurt before
And I knew that also
With you

I still don’t understand why me
I’m not a great girl
Or a pretty girl

I’m not an exciting person
I can’t even make people laugh

I’m not an artist
I’m not a singer

I’m not in the popular crowd
Not even close

So what is it that you see
In me?
