Different Love
Thump, thump! Thump, thump!
How is this happening to me?
It can’t be! Ishouldn't’t be!
My heart has never beaten this loud or this fast before.
My words have never been caught in my throat before.
My hands have never sweated this much before.
And my ears have never grown so hot before.
Thump, thump! Thump, thump!
Why is this happening to me?
It doesn’t need to be! It doesn’t have to be!
I always have words!
I always have witty remarks!
I’m never caught off guard!
I’m never rendered speechless!
Girls stare at me with admiration
At the way I can converse so easily with boys.
And boys enjoy flirting with me because
I always talk and flirt back.
But here I am, speechless, scared, sweaty, and cold.
Here I am, staring in his eyes, wishing I knew what to say next.
Here I am, smiling like a complete idiot because he smiles like an angel.
He’s not the boy that all girls fall in love with.
He’s not the boy that flirts with me
Just because he knows that I’ll flirt back.
He’s the boy that makes me always smile.
He’s the boy that I dream about at night.
He’s the boy that makes me who I really am.
He’s the boy that I have fallen completely, hopelessly, and totally in love with.
Thump, thump! Thump, thump!
What has happened to me? How could it happen to me?
Who knows and who cares?
I’m in love! It’s happened!
Why should I question it?
I can’t answer it anyway!
Remember, I’m speechless!
Love has done this to me!
And I can honestly say that I don’t care!
