She’s sitting right across from you and she’s everything you have ever wanted.
She’s clever without being boastful.
She’s funny without being rude.
She’s charismatic without being pushy.
And boy she’s beautiful.
She’s everything you have ever wanted.
And she’s close enough for you to grab her and never let her go.
But instead you sit there and stare as she writes,
because she’s everything you’ve ever wanted.
And you can’t mess up the relationship you already have.
Being “Just friends” can’t be that bad.
But inside you are dying.
Caught between “What ifs” and your feelings.
What if she laughs at you and leaves?
What if she looks up and you with her clear blue eyes and says,
“This wouldn’t work, you know that.”?
What if she doesn’t hear you the first time
and you have to try and tell her again?
What if she doesn’t say anything at all?
What if she says yes?
But deep down you know you’ll never say anything.
You’ll never reach for her no matter how close she is.
The “What ifs” will win the battle and your feelings will stayed buried.
Why would she feel the same anyways?
She’s everything you have ever wanted,
And you’re stuck in a dream.
Some sort of twisted fantasy
where the boy gets the girl just like the movies.
But she sits and writes,
right across from you.
What if you kissed her, right now,
without any warning?
What if that only works in the movies?
What if you drop her off at home, only to come back
hours later with flowers and a stereo over your head?
She would like that right?
She’s everything you have ever wanted.
She’s loving without being clingy.
She’s trusting without being distant.
She’s courageous without being dangerous.
And boy she’s beautiful.
Maybe the “What ifs” won’t win,
And your feelings will see the light.
But maybe denial is easier than rejection.
And living in a pretend movie is better than reality.
She’s everything you have ever wanted.
And she’s within reach.
But if you aren’t careful, her illusion will shatter.
And you’ll be without your make-believe fairy tale.
She’s everything you have ever wanted.
Which must mean she’s too good to be true.
