I see her walking in the hallways
Flawless as can be.
So effortlessly pretty,
And so much unlike me.

When she's with me in a classroom
I simply sit and gaze.
How'd he ever leave someone
So beautiful in countless ways?

With her gorgeous hazel doe eyes,
And wild mane of curled black hair.
I watch her and I see
Everything he once saw there.

Her smile and her dimples
Are so easy to love;
Unlike my crooked grin,
So easy to let go of.

She always dresses nicely,
Looking cute and sweet each day.
I never look as good as her,
Though I try in every way.

She has no need for makeup;
Her skin is tan and clear.
Mine is pale and flawed,
My features harsh and severe.

I wonder why he chose me
Instead of chasing her again.
I watch the girl with admiration,
But hold jealousy within.



And then one day I caught her
Looking back at me the same way.
I wonder if she was thinking,
"Why'd he ever give me a way?"
