She is steadfast and strong
Clean of heart and mind
This is where she belongs
And i want her heart as mine

Satisfied in being
Rather than seeming
Theres no one more appealing
Even when i am dreaming

She is of humble birth
but of noble worth
And she sees the same
In everyone on earth

She wears pink one Wednesday
In the fight against cancer
And its because of her one day
We will find the answer

She is humble in success
Without bitterness in defeat
She is one of the best
There is no one you will meet
Who is as worthy to pursue
One so devoted
To the Right, the Good, and the True

It's With a girl of
Zeta Tau Alpha
I fell in Love
The greatest of all things
Many of the line come from the creed of Zta to give it some context

your beauty is captivating
everything is raptured
all my words are captured
i'm speechless
any talk is reachless
like a clock that doesn't tell time
words are useless
if i can't say to you what i'm suppose to
Like some kind of cosmic joke
every time i get the courage
to speak my mind i choke
i cant breath
everything is trapped underneath
all because you simply showed your teeth
this all happened
because you smiled at me

My heart starts to rush
as i see her from the corner of my eye
my cheeks start to blush
as i watch her beauty pass by

sometimes try to say hi
but i grow weak
unable to the speak
im brave so atleast i try
but i only managed a wave
which feels more like goodbye

My knees start to wobble
and i feel as if my about to topple
im too old to have a crush
but here i am trying to talk to you
and the only sound is hush

Gibberish
its all i can come up with
then you leave
after i said something wierd

I hold whole conversations with myself
"why would you say that?
whats wrong with you?
dont you want to her know you like her?
next time you should ask more questions
and get her to talk
dont you know you talk to much
and sometimes cut her off"

I can barely talk to her
then i realize
how can i expect myself to make the first move
Leaning in to place a kiss
i blush so hard
my shoulders turn red
my chest is pouding
i can hear my heart in my head
and thats just when i think about it

she's the most beautiful thing in this world
and im just a boy mind has completely unfurled
just by looking the eyes of the only girl

Usually im fun spontaneous and cool
but when you come around
im no more than a fool
scarred speechless
stumpling over my words
Fear is my motivation
So i try to speak
to say something anything
hello or hi
I try with all my might
every syllable paused by fright
i simply watch you pass by

See I love the thrill
the adrenaline that im feelin in every part of me
How my heart beats fast when I jump off a 100 ft cliff
but with you my opinion suddenly shifts
i see you, my heart beats hard
im suddenly nervous anxious scarred
the sound of my heart beating in my ears
as if i can actually hear my fears
everytime i see you smile when you look a me
a thousands thoughts run through my head
and even more emotions
fear filling me with dread
over thinking everything, like im the girl
my stomach starts to swirl
butterflies at the the simple thought hi's
what do you think of me
i wish i knew
cause i dont know what to do
this something brand new
im confused
whats my move

Usually i know exactly what actions to take
exactly what to say
but this isnt something i can fake
i have this terrible feeling that it might be to late
so focused on making the right move
have i waited to long
or did i do something wrong
when i hinted at something between us
did i lose my opportunity
but then again
doesnt alcohol give me impunity
or do you just look at me with more scrutiny

I told myself i was waiting for the right moment
but i refuse to let the time pass by with giving it a try
this is crazier than anything i have ever darred
telling you how i feel, ive never been so scared
but fear is my favorite emotion
because it only comes around when your near
I swear I tell you everything the next time you appear
Oh no wait
Your here
*run

I sit here looking in the mirror
at a man i dont know
a man?
can i even call my self that
after my actions of last night
how can i be a man
how can i pride myself on being a gentleman
when all i do i sin
two girls in one night
one in the pool
and one in my morning sight

im disgusting to me
and what do other people see
ive become what i hate most
while "men" sit there and call me a player
like its some kind of toast
a compliment of sorts
as if its something i should boast
these boys think they see a man

a man.....
is that what i am?

I see you
watching me closely
hanging on the texts i type
cause god know we don't talk
at least not often

I know i could make you happy
I know i seem like everything you want in life
and maybe you have even imagined being my wife
though you wouldnt admit to something so sappy

Im sorry
thats all i can say
but not to you cause then we would both have to acknowledge it
what we both saw but knew are selves too well to pursue
but i guess then again
i always did encouraged you to try something new

but still im sorry
everything i did may have seemed like folly
but know everything you know is probably half true
if even at all
its cause i care for you as a friend
that i decided to save you from the me you would hate
it always ends bad
and thats why i dont date

Just know I see you
i see your pain
i know you think your insane
you think your feelings are in vain
and that i'm a little vain
just know not everything you see is true
cause maybe not as much as you would like
but i do think of you

I was in the perfect position
everything was in place
then my pulse started to race
and i made a terrible decision
while in a liquid induced trance
that cost me my one and only chance

I did something foolish
she's as beautiful as a fresh bloomed flower
so i told her i wanted more
i gave her my doomed power

so now she wants me no more
the mystery that surrounded me has vanished
any rising feelings for me banished
her past is her fear and her heart is soar

the worst part....
these words that escaped the cage of my heart
through the trap door underneath my tongue
the same ones the threw water upon the embers
of a fire that could have outlasted time its self
came from a night
i don't even remember
