Robin Hood
I understand that we’ve just met,
I understand that we don’t quite know each other yet,
I understand that you’re not alone,
And that you have a place to call home.
I understand that you are the same,
In so many ways,
I understand that you are different,
In so many ways.
I understand that you like stupid tv shows,
I understand that you like stupid games,
I understand that you have the most generic name.
I understand that we have a connection,
Based on things we can’t say,
I understand that we are there for each other,
At the end of the day.
What I don’t understand is that I ignore the most important thing,
You can’t be mine,
We can’t be a thing,
Because as you know,
You belong to someone else.
Open or shut,
Doesn’t matter,
Because I wish I was her,
And I wish that you were mine.
And I keep telling myself I can detach,
That we can just be friends,
But I think I’m realizing,
Just how badly this could end.
Because I keep imagining,
Of what it would be like,
In another world,
Where I had met you first.
I can’t stop thinking,
I just can’t,
It’s like my head is going a million miles an hour,
And my brain is dead.
Why do you have to be good?
Why can’t you be bad?
Why do you have to make it so hard to hate you?
Why do I feel sad?
The three amigos made me lose hope,
But the so-called knight in shining armor has yet to prove himself,
Other soldiers have failed,
Or simply lost interest.
I’m rooting for the knight,
How he will joust I am not sure.
Because he’s different,
I might be ok,
But it’s the princess I have to worry about.
Do you actually care?
Or know what you’re doing?
Will you stick around,
Or are you going to leave me too?
