Selfish Love

It's been a week since she broke his heart

I tried to be there for him as he fell apart

He cried so many tears

while I tried to face my fears

but my timing wasn't smart


He's not the most attractive

He's not all that active

He's got these precious glasses

and he takes sophomore classes

but I must admit, he's holding me captive


He looks a little funny

although he's extremely punny

That's what got me fallin'

we have so much in common

We both prefer the rain over the sunny


Time seems to go in slow motion

because we've admitted our emotions

Am I doing this to help myself?

Does he really need my help?

Will he ever know of my mental commotion?



I've begun to feel so lowly

As he continues to cope slowly

He's just trying to feel better

while all I think about is being together.

The whole situation leaves me lonely
