When You...


To the one person who could build me up and tear me down with a glance.

When you look at me I feel...
Like the only girl in the world,
Like the loneliest girl in the world,
I feel indestructable, lovely, and kissable,
I also feel invisible.

When you say my name I feel...
Like the most beautiful girl in the world,
Like the plainest girl in the world,
I feel scared, tiny, and helpless.
I also feel jealous.

When you touch my arm I feel...
Like the most incredible girl in the world,
Like the normalest girl in the world,
I feel strong, impregnable, and daring,
I also feel beyond caring.

When I know that we can't be I wonder...
Where is my Prince Charming?
Where is my White Knight?
When do I get my story book ending?
When will it be alright?
