You've never gotten your happy ending
Because the boys just overlook you
Pass you by for someone prettier
&funnier
&&smarter
&&&full of charm
And who are you
But the quiet girl on the sidelines
Disgracing your family's fiery hair with lips closed tight,
Holding back any words of argument
Their eyes see right through you
Because Dom's so damn gorgeous
And Lily's spirited
And Molly's the intelligent one
So why even pay attention to you?
( Why see the failure? )
The girl who could've/should've/isn't anything like
Her extraordinary cousins
And so your days pass,
Silent and lonely
Until he comes
And paints your grey world with colors
Rainbows light your sky
And he holds your hand
And you feel,
Maybe,
For once,
Special
Because he doesn't overlook you
But he's p-p-perfect
( you can't help but stutter his name )
And you're Flawed
( a capital 'f' just as a reminder of how
Truly screwed up you are )
But everything is clicking into place
And your head is resting on his chest
And he's saying that he thinks you're cute
And wonderful
And you're thinking that maybe
( definitely )
He likes you
And there's finally a boy
Who will fetch the stars for you
And throw them down to Earth
So you can wish oncetwiceonemillion times
As each streak of light stains the sky
And you can't help but to laugh
( did you just giggle, dear?
You never giggle )
And lean closer into him
And even with his confession
You still don't feel like you belong
In the hands of such an angel
But he's holding on tightly
And kissing you lightly
And looking in your eyes to say things
So unbearably sweet
You just want to be his forever
Because you are finally realizing
That you don't need to be everything
Everyone else is
Because he loves you
For just being you
( and you love him too )
Fun announcement: I'm dating! He's, yeah, um, just read above. That sums it all up.
