Just me.
That smile.
The way he walks.
The way he talks.
The way he makes me laugh by the simplest things, leaving a smile on my face for the rest of the day.
He makes me happy.
Too bad he'll never know;
I'm too ashamed to ever tell him--tell him how much I like him, how many countless times I think of him during the day; how many times I just wait to walk past him, or see a glimpse of him by my locker.
He'll never know.
Because I'm not good enough for him;
Just like I'm not good enough for any guy.
I`m just..me.
Simple, boring, plain.
I know it too.
Brown hair, chocolate eyes, and a simple smile that couldn't possibly make any guy's day.
I'm not pretty, nor do I have this amazing personality.
I'm not incredibly intelligent, or amazingly pretty; I have a low self-esteem and horrible self-image of how I look.
I could go on and on about how I'd change this and that about myself.
But I can't.
So do I give up?
Should I hate myself for just being .. me?
The world tells me I'm nothing special. I wouldn't make it. It's a game and I'm just a player.
But I still try.
I may not be 'that pretty' or 'the best person you've ever met', but I still have hope.
Maybe I'll make a difference, or do something special.
Maybe I won't get this guy I really like right now, but I might get someone better.
Someone who likes me for me--Someone who appreciates me and loves me for myself.
So I'll just..be myself.
Simple, boring, me.
