Crush At First Sight (A Song) Poem by Jade Leven

Note: this song is about the same person that 'Shallow Water' is dedicated to.

you don't know me
and in your case, more importantly,
you haven't seen me
and that's why I wish I was somebody else

allow me to introduce myself to you
I'm just plain crazy, and I'm going to hell, it's true
for the murder of any respect I may have had for myself

I tried and tried with all my might
not to believe in a crush at first sight
because I've never said a word to you
and I don't think I want to
even if you suddenly decide that you love me
either way I'll still feel ugly
ugly on the outside, even in the right light
or ugly on the inside for believing in a crush at first sight

I don't know you
but what will happen if I show you
everything about my world
could you love me in any way, shape, or form?

why don't you introduce yourself to me?
are you the type of guy to wear your heart on your sleeve?
I apologize for my lack of trusting abilities
it's just that there's a piece of me that's torn

I tried and tried with all my might
not to believe in a crush at first sight
because I've never said a word to you
and I don't think I want to
even if you suddenly decide that you love me
either way I'll still feel ugly
ugly on the outside, even in the right light
or ugly on the inside for believing in a crush at first sight

I have only heard you speak so few words
but I think I've heard enough, and from what I've heard
I admit, you're everything I expected you to be
but we're not meant to be, and you're no good for me

I tried and tried with all my might
not to believe in a crush at first sight
because I've never said a word to you
and I don't think I want to
even if you suddenly decide that you love me
either way I'll still feel ugly
ugly on the outside, even in the right light
or ugly on the inside for believing in a crush at first sight

this will never be right
I knew it at first sight
