I know a guy,
I met a girl,

He’s unbelievable,
She was beautiful.

He’s great,
She is beautiful,

He scares me.
She challenges me,

He changes me,
And she changes me,

But I never met him,
But I don’t know her,

I don’t know who he really is,
I can’t tell who she really is,

But I want to,

I wish I could,
I wish I did,

But to me she’s all I want her to be,
Because he’s more than I can imagine,

Everything I need her to be,
Everything I can imagine

Understanding, smart, caring,
Funny, kind, intelligent,

Perfect,

She’s wonderful,
He’s amazing,

She’s the only person I have,
He’s the only one I can trust,

She’s more than I deserve,
He’s my best friend,

And I love her,
And I love him,

But I can’t let her see,
But I also hate him,

Because I’m a monster,
Because he’s a monster,

And she won’t love me,
And I’m afraid of him,

Because of everything I am,
Everything he is,


And she,
And I,

Won’t look past it.
Can’t get past it.

Not that it comes not so oft,
Lifting my spirits in process aloft,
And takes me for a whirl, awhile
O’ thou lovely, shy, smile.

And then comes the ice,
In your stare so vice.
I shudder for a while, recoil
my spirits, as always, get mixed with soil.
