Paper Emotions [Completed]

The King and the Nerd

  The King and the Nerd

Hello

I heard you ask what's my name

Who am I with?

What am I doing?

Girl in glasses, pen and paper in my hands

While you, people, are busy perfecting yourselves for the cameras

I belong in the background; you are born to own the stage

I never knew I could attract attention by answering questions they will engage.

Too busy to notice

You staring at me

I never knew you

Until someone told me.

"Hey! You know that guy?

He asked who you are?"

I didn't believe them at first

Who am I kidding? I am a wallflower.

I saw you own the spotlight

Many admirers in your sight

I told myself "This guy?"

Who am I to be the apple of your eye?

I came to the competition

To support my companions

But then I saw you walk down the stage

You got added to my list of potential candidates.

Fighting for the crown

You stood out of the crowd

You are something else

I wished for you the best

At the end of the night

We looked at each other in the eyes

We are worlds apart

Why do we keep seeing each other from afar?

You were seen as the King

I was teased as the peasant nerd

It's cliché like a story

Only we didn't have a happy ending.

The last time I saw you

We were celebrating

I felt someone looking at me

Turning around, you were there smiling.

It's impossible yet I did feel it

You have that effect, my heart was melting

We never talked but something happened

I hope in the future, we will see each other again.

Dedicated to the guy who asked who I was and we didn't have the chance to talk to one another. Haha
