Chivalrous

We are always looked over without a second thought,

Taken for granted, no matter what we brought.

There for you when you needed someone to talk,

There for you when you asked for company on a walk.

We open doors for you, compliment you everyday,

But we are always looked over no matter what we say.

Take you out and surprise you with but a single rose,

You thank us for it as you hold it to your nose.

You take in the smell, as your heart jumps for joy.

A thought runs through you head, "oh, boy

Your just a friend nothing more nothing less."

You tell him this as you confess.

I'm sorry, he says with a heavy heart,

I was stupid for tearing this relationship apart.

He turns his back and takes a pace,

Your heart slowly begins to race.

Heart broken, looking down as he walks away,

As he does everything in his power to forget this day.

He was there when guys treated you bad,

When your boyfriends made you sad.

You complain that there are no nice guys, it's all a lie,

And yet you let your best friend pass you by.

There for you through thick and thin,

Willing to do anything to protect you from sin.

He turns as you give him a hug, he gently whispers,

*"It's all in your head,

Because princess, chivalry isn't dead..."*
