There I was, on the floor,
crossed legs, thinkin’ ‘bout you.
Your brown hair, your brown eyes,
and the way you’re never blue.
Sense of humor, perfect smile,
seem so out of reach to me.
Shy girl who you might
never ever truly meet.

Please, please, oh dear-dear, please look at me,
Why can’t I ever be person you want to see.
How come I can’t even start to talk?
You turn my tongue to chalk.

I don’t want to seem obsessive,
but you sneak into my memory.
I, want to stop, but I can’t.
It puts me in misery.
We’re out of touch,
But miss you so much.

Please, please, oh dear-dear, please look at me,
Why can’t I ever be person you want to see.
How come I can’t even start to talk?
I’m guarded behind a lock.

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;

I think that if you were to make it a little longer, add another verse or something, and fix some of the spelling mistakes in it, that it would be really good (:

Thanks. I also appreciate the constructive critique, (that's why I submit things in the first place.) I was wondering, what sort of things do you think would be nice to add?
