You're The Only Reason

by stargirl49   Feb 1, 2008


Warm air rushes by my face.
I feel like I'm floating,
but really I'm falling.
Falling in love with you.

Every day I wake,
I dream I see your face.
You're the only reason
that I want to live.
The only reason
I put makeup on.
And you're what I go to school for.

I see you in class,
and I lose my voice.
I see you in the hall,
and my heart skips a beat.
Your smile wreaks havoc
on my soul.
Your bright blue eyes
and your short blond hair
captured my heart
long ago completely.
Your athletic physique
makes me want
to always be near you,
and your spontaneous laughter
makes me want to hear it again.

Every day I wake,
I dream I see your face.
You're the only reason
that I want to live.
The only reason
I put makeup on.
And you're what I go to school for.

My friends think it's cute
that my heart belings to you.
But it'd be even cuter
if your heart was mine.
Oh, I know that
it'll never happen,
but a girl has to have
her hopes and dreams.
I've always thought
that I'm not that pretty
and not that charming,
but my friends always yell
when I voice that thought.
They say guys are stupid
not to notice me,
that they don't know
what they're missing
when they pass me by.
But if their reasoning is true,
why don't I have guy of my own?
I've come to the conclusion
that true love is a lie.
All there is
is some level of hurt.
Other people might claim
to have found true love,
but it has always evaded my sight.

If I let myself love you,
I know I'll get hurt.
It's been that way
for so damn long
that I have no hope
that it will be different this time.

Every day I wake,
I dream I see your face.
You're the only reason
that I want to live.
The only reason
I put makeup on.
And you're what I go to school for,
even though you're that one test
that I'll always fail.
