What I Don't Understand

I watched you everyday.

Smiled when you smiled,

Frowned when you frowned.

In a room full of people,

I would only look for you,

Wishing that you would be looking at me too.

In my eyes you were perfect,

And I thought that you could do nothing wrong.

I should have known that you were too good to be true.

What I don't understand,

Is how different you are to what I thought and expected.

You turned out to be a million miles away

From the person I believed I knew.

I guess first impressions can be deceiving,

And I have to remember that sometimes,

The way you think about a person

Isn't the way they actually are.
