yes, there might have once been a bitter sweet boy
but have you ever heard of the honey eyed girl?

the one who made the bitter boy better?
the girl with splinters in her palms, and pine needles in her hair?

yes, there may have been a bitter sweet boy,
but did you hear about that sweet little child
who spoke softly of sweet taffy and maple syrup like it was their savior?

yes there might have been a bitter sweet boy,
but have you heard of the boy who was so much easier to like?
the quiet one who sat in the back
who never knew who in the **** he was?
the boy who wasn't dark and mysterious
and didn't have his sights on hurting you for ever thinking to ask how he was
did you ever hear of that boy?
the sweet one?
