Do You Ever Wonder?
Do you ever wonder what I thought the first time I ever saw you?
I thought “Oh My Gosh, he’s hot.”
And then I thought “I wonder who he is?”
I couldn’t keep my eyes off of you that first day.
Do you ever wonder why I said “Hello” to you for the first time?
I swear, it took every ounce of my being to do it!
I did it because since the first time I ever saw you I knew I loved you.
Ever since that first “Hello” I knew you had to be mine.
Do you ever wonder why I was so upset when I found out you loved another?
I could not let myself believe that you would never love me.
I knew if you already had another girl, it was hopeless for me.
All bets were off.
Do you ever wonder why I stopped loving you for a period of time?
I had seen that you loved her more than I, so I knew there was no way.
I found a new boy to smother the thought of you.
It turns out that he broke my heart worse than you ever did.
Do you ever wonder why I invited you to all of my concerts?
I so desperately wanted you to see me –
See me play so “gracefully” the songs that Mr. Larkin had taught.
I was so desperately hoping that you would love me from then on.
Do you ever wonder why I was so eager to see you every day?
Every moment I had to live without catching a glimpse of you, I nearly died.
I couldn’t stand not seeing your glittery blue-green eyes,
And your perfect, sweet, gleaming face.
Do you ever wonder why I cried when I found out your girlfriend had broken up with you?
It was so unbearable to me to see you sad.
She broke your heart into a million pieces and didn’t even care.
I wanted so badly to pick up the shattered glass and put you back together again, so I could see you smile one more time.
Do you ever wonder why I had one of my friends ask you if you would ever date me?
I was so desperate to have you love me, I couldn’t help but force her to do it.
I was so stupid and pathetic and insensitive to you.
I knew you were still hurting, so why would I hurt you even more?
Do you ever wonder why I was so stupid?
I made so many mistakes with you, I would understand if you didn’t love me.
I must have made you uncomfortable so many times, in so many ways.
I thought I was being so slick, but it was totally obvious, the whole time.
Do you ever wonder how often I think about you?
What can I say?
I think about you as often as I see my own hands.
I cannot keep you out of my mind, for you are ever present there!
Do you ever wonder what I must be thinking every time I see you?
What I must be thinking every time I talk to you?
This is what I think:
My one and only love, why don’t you love me too?
I’d make the sea turn inside-out if you wanted me to!
I would make the stars stay up day and night if that’s what pleased you.
Don’t you understand that I would give my own life for yours?
Do you ever wonder?
