Each time I see him,

My heart skips a beat,

And when he smiles,

I just melt like an ice scream on a hot summer’s day

This cannot be.

I cannot continue on like this.

I love him,

But this love causes me too much pain

Each time he speaks,

His voice twinkles like shining stars,

And when he laughs,

I just boil like water on the kettle

This cannot be.

I cannot continue on like this.

I do love him,

But he has fallen for another

Each time he looks my way,

I realise I can’t resist him,

And when he jokes around,

I just die inside like a rose-bud attacked by a canker worm.

This cannot be.

I cannot continue on like this.

I do love him,

But he doesn’t even know I exist.

The sad truth is that I’m the smart one

And he’s the popular one.

All he does is steal my homework

And give me sweet names to get what he wants.

He likes another,

And she’s a lucky gal,

Because she’s not the only one behind him.

The sad truth is that I love him,

But he does not.

All he does is laugh at my goofiness

And smile in my direction for fun.

I can’t hide my feelings,

And he knows so,

So he plays with my heart.

The sad truth is he loves me;

He loves me not. Not. Not.
