Love Behind a Door
Walking down the street
With a fast pace heart beat
Not knowing where I am going
Not knowing what path is ahead of me
Looking in all directions
Not knowing what I am looking for
Bam…it hits me like a brick wall
I turn my head and there is this girl standing about 5’6 tall
Her body glowing in the moonlight
As I look up to the stars and look back at her
She has a smile on her face that is ever so bright
Not knowing what to say
The beauty of this girl has left me speechless
I am like a little kid not knowing what to do at recess
Do I walk past her and say hi under my breathe
Do I give her a head nod so she knows I am looking at her
No no no
I finally build up my courage and approach her
Next thing I knew I woke up and everything was a great big blur
I asked myself
Was I dreaming?
I roll over to get out of bed and there’s a number
So I think why not give it a call
She answers and says hello
Shocked that its really her so my words come out slurred as if I was melting in snow
I ask if we can meet up to see if it’s really the girl of my dreams
She says yes with no hesitation
So as I arrive at this certain location
She comes out the corner
In awe I can’t believe it was really her beauty and all
My legs got weak as if I was about to fall
I took her to lunch and had a ball
Laughing and smiling
I couldn’t believe I was out with a girl of such stature
As we wrap up lunch and begin our sunset walk
My feelings for her are still in utter shock
I begin to open her door with all her feelings
But she slams it in my face
I am thinking to myself she has been hurt
But later she says “I got something to tell you”
Me having a good idea and a pretty good clue
She says she is taken
I replied no you must have me mistaken
You’re the girl of my dreams
Sadly that’s all she will ever be
Have you ever wanted someone in which you can’t touch but only see?
I am so foolish to think a girl like that would ever be into me
I slowly walk myself down to the local store
My feelings are hurt and my heart is heavy as I hit the cold floor
I should have known that there was already love behind her door
