What if...


“Love” is a strong word

Sometimes it’s so hard to say

It’s like trusting a stranger with your usernames and pass codes...

 

You, being the new kid

I had to be your friend

It wasn’t until you smiled

Oh, that gorgeous smile

I had to be in a relationship with you

Weeks pass by and we gradually start having conversations

It wasn’t until one day we had a deep talk about our past relationships

You had to be mine

I can’t stop thinking about you

What if you feel the same way

I told one of my friends about about you

She thinks we’re cute together

What if we do look cute

But other girls like you just as much as me

They ask for your number

They tell you that they like you

I just sit there and pretend I don’t

Knowing deep down inside I wish you were all mine

I like your funny personality

I like your smile

I like that I can ask or tell you anything

I have mixed feelings about you

What if you like me

But i’ll never know because I don’t want to make the first move

The school dance is coming up

I want to go with you

What if you feel the same way

Maybe, maybe not

The dance is here

I see you

You see me

We hug and tell each other “you look nice”

We mingle with our friends

You disappear

I spot you with another girl

What if that girl was me

Talking, laughing, sitting so close to her

The same girl that you told me likes you

I remember you saying that you don’t know if you want be with her

I don't want you with her

I don’t know what to do

I want to be with you

You've only known her for a day

But you have her number

We’ve been friends for a while now

And I still don’t have your number

My friend forced me to talk to you

But when that moment arrived

The cat caught my tongue

I lost my chance

What should I do?

I want to wait for you to make the first move

It may be too late

But what if it’s not?

<p>Apparently, I think I do love him. I trust him, it&#39;s just that I don&#39;t want to see him with that girl. I want him with me. I want us to be together. I really don&#39;t know how to tell him though.&nbsp;</p>
