I'm in love and there's nothing I can do about it.

It wasn't on purpose,
So don't give me that look.

I didn't choose this folly,
It is doomed before it will begin.

You see. I'm not in love with just
A cute face
Or a nice smile

I'm in love with Grace
And it's been coming for awhile.

I knew her when I was young.
I guess you could say she's my childhood hero.

You know most people look to Superman-
Or wonder woman-
Someone.

I looked up to the person who saved my life.

No she didn't take a bullet or anything.
She talked to me.
She became my friend.

My first one at the age of 11

Sure I had a couple people I called friends,
But they couldn't match this girl.

She boggled my mind.

I was suicidal.
With Grace I loved life.

Nothing there has changed.

She drove me to become who I am today.

So here I am now.

Nineteen and in love.
There's nothing to do.
I know she's not interested, and we're both leaving the area for college.
So I'm in love, and there's nothing I can do.

So do me a favor, and tell the person you love that you do,
Because it's something I won't be able to do.
