Can't Help Falling in Love


I met you, And I never thought I would have wanted you But you grew on me The way your secretly green eyes caught the light in algebra On the way you looked when you were in your own little bubble With your headphones on listening to The Beatles Or maybe it was our conversations about The Rolling Stones Or the way you looked in that Johnny Cash tee Perhaps it was in Science, When you asked me if I had heard about The Doors And that night I listened to every single song I know my friends are sick of it, The daily updates about how you started the conversation, Or how you asked to work together first And I know you were just being friendly But I'm truly falling for you Mrs. M put us next to each other And when I saw the seating chart my heart began to flutter And now I can't read without beginning to stutter But I know it can't last, Because the hopeless romantic with her nose in a book, Can't be with the boy who has stolen her heart, Without even knowing But in my poems, someday I'll write a world Where the First Chair Saxophone boy Could be with the First Chair Alto Girl But if I Can't Help Falling in Love with you, Is there a chance you could love me too?

A young girl chasing a dream that can't be caught, Holding onto hope that is too far gone Losing her mind trying to help others get theirs back Prayers go unanswered no matter what she does It's the life of no one, no one but me
