Analysis of Hopeless Romantic
I woke up early just to make myself pretty
Hoping you would catch a glance and take a second look
Instead I was met by friends who made fun of my stripes and suggested a leopard could be better
I chose to be confident this morning, wearing my favorite clothes and putting on my smile
But now I’m home and looking at those pictures
Knowing I’m a hopeless romantic in denial
You always seem to have the most friends
You’re gifted with a beautiful smile
Your smarter than the rest but not enough to notice my interest in your time and how you go the extra mile
I want to stand by your side not in your shadow
Crying from the joy of your touch rather than tears staining my sheets

My life in highschool has been filled with ups and downs but none more than the cold touch of my own arms
