AN: THIS IS A POEM I WROTE BEFORE I MARRIED MY WIFE. BEFORE WE WERE EVEN DATING. I FOUND IT WHILE GOING THROUGH BOXES IN THE ATTICK.
You seem really nice,
especially for a girl with good looks,
I wish I could talk to you,
but would you give me the time?
I know i'm a little bit dorky,
I'm like the town clown,
and you're the princess,
just out of my reach.
You wouldn't take me seriously,
even if I could build up the courage to talk to you,
you probably'd just laugh in my face,
And push me away.
i'll never be the prince,
never see you up close,
I guess i'm stuck making to town laugh.
I've been trying for so long,
trying to learn how to talk to you,
but you've always got something better to do,
and,
what would I even say?
"how's your brother?"
"how's your mother?"
What would I start out with?
"hi, I think you're beautiful?"
I wouldn't be lying,
but im sure you've heard it a thousand times,
you're probably already taken,
my someone smarter than I am,
your prince has probably already found you,
and what chance does the town clown have against him?
I'd just get pushed into the mud.
I want so much just to tell you what I think,
"hi,
I think you're absolutely stunning,
and the smartest girl by far,
It would be amazing if I could take you out,
maybe tonight?"
"we could go to the ball,
I know i'm just the clown,
but it would be the best thing,
that's ever happened to me.
And i'm sorry I can't promise you the same,
but i'd do all I could."
"And if everything goes fine,
we could do it again another night?
I know a lot of guys are just jokers,
but if you gave me a chance,
i'd never break your heart."
"And after sometime,
if you feel the way I feel now,
maybe it could be true,
that a clown could become a prince.
Even if i'm not a prince truly,
i'd still treat you like a princess."
"this is all up to you,
but I hate to break the news,
I love you,
I have for sometime now.
please let me prove what I say is true."
The more time that goes by,
I ask myself why I havn't done this yet,
I give myself the same answer over and over again,
because she,
amazing as she is,
would never go for the town clown,
no matter how much I try to be the prince,
i'm still just the dorky clown.
I hope your prince treats you right,
And treats you like a princess,
and after sometime has passed,
a queen,
because you,
out do all of them,
you alone are a goddess.
I might yet get the courage,
to ask you to the ball,
but please,
don't wait,
live your life,
and at some point i'll find the courage
to challenge the prince,
and maybe,
just maybe,
I'll win your heart.
