Falling
-
Falling for someone is exactly that: falling,
It's when you find yourself caring about someone who you never thought you
would,
Maybe it's your best girl friend, or your next door neighbor, or maybe the
new girl in school,
Or maybe the most unlikely person- just a lowly sophomore girl whose name
you didn't know,
Whom you would have never talked to except that by pure chance you both took
a class,
A class that sat you beside each other and invited a frienship to form,
Well the friendsip developed slowly- it started with her laughing at you,
Then grew to her asking about your relationships and all about your life,
It was quite obvious to you both that you were very different - not that
either of you cared,
Perhaps you getting kicked out of the class would have put an end to what
was started,
Or - perhaps upon your request the girl would call you,
And slowly you began to fall for this girl whom is nothing special,
Not to everyone else anyway, but it soon became apparent she was special to
you,
You cared about her and it scared you because you didn't usually fall like
that for a girl,
But you fell completely and totally for this girl,
This girl who has to be home at 12, who couldn't go to Denison with you, and
who likes rap!,
But she also makes you laugh for no reason at all, and she cares about you
so much,
Where it was her BOYS LIE shoelaces or her newfound love of Grasshopper
Takeover,
You'll never know - you just know that you FELL for this girl.
