Turning Page

As you walk by

without a first glance,

I start to realize

what this is coming to

Almost a year now

Still hasn't said a word

until your man enough to speak up

Keep laughing at myself

for all that I've been through

to seek a smile in you

Keeping a steady pace

is harder than I thought

'Cause now I'm just another turning page

Somehow you landed next to me

giving me butterflies

You're naturally talented,

and I miss your blue eyes

You're flawless when you move,

but please don't open up your eyes

You make me feel special,

but even the brightest times

won't bring me back to you

You have no clue that I

am falling for you

and your signature smile

So once again I'm just another turning page

As you smile away,

my stupidity

keeps kicking into me

I became aware of

your upper class female friends

They all seem somewhat bossy,

but that's okay with me

'Cause I'm not friends of them

My unintelligent mind

knows you are out of bounds,

but unavailability

can't seem to stop me now

Yet however I'm just another turning page
