I have a question

It might seem strange

How are your lungs?
Are they in pain?

I stared up at him, his dark brown eyes looked so carefree, he seemed so happy as he looked over me, watching the people behind me.


'Cause mine are aching
Think I know why
I kinda like it, though
You wanna try?

My chest was tight, I could feel a lump in my throat and my heart thumped rapidly as I stood so close to him. Close enough to run my hands through his dark golden hair.


Oh, would you be
So kind
As to fall in love with me, you see
I'm trying
I know you know that I like you
But that's not enough
So if you will
Please fall in love
I think it's only fair
There's gotta be some butterflies somewhere, wanna share?
'Cause I like you
But that's not enough
So if you will
Please fall in love with me

Everyone was in love with him, including me, someone who wasn't supposed to. He knew, I knew, my brother knew, his brothers knew, hell even his parents knew. But Steve would kill me for putting their friendship at risk like that. I also knew he didn't reciprocate my feelings, and it stung a lot. I wasn't pretty enough for him, not like Sandy or most girls we knew.


Let's write a story
Be in my book
You've got to join me on my page
At least take a look

I just wish he could see what I seen, felt what I felt. Mostly when I was with him.


Oh, where are your manners?
You need some time?
Let's swap chests today
That might help you decide

I'd do anything so he could feel the butterflies that I did, the tightness I felt, anything.


Oh, would you be
So kind
As to fall in love with me, you see
I'm trying
I know you know that I like you
But that's not enough
So if you will
Please fall in love
I think it's only fair
There's gotta be some butterflies somewhere, wanna share?
'Cause I like you
But that's not enough
So if you will
Please fall in love with me

I wish I never opened my mouth that night. All because I had courage for a mere few seconds and admitted everything to him, not knowing Two-Bit's loud mouth was actually paying attention to us.


Oh, do me a favour
Can your heart rate rise a little?
Do me a favour
Can your heart rate rise a little?

He wrapped an arm around my shoulder as he laughed, pulling me to rest in his chest, and I could feel my heart speed up, and the hands that gripped the sides of his shirt to steady myself from the movement become clammy.


Oh, would you be
So kind
As to fall in love with me, you see

I know you know that I like you
But that's not enough
So if you will
Please fall in love

'Cause I like you

So if you will
Please fall in love
Oh, I like you
But that's not enough
So if you will
Please fall in love with me

It'll never happen, but as long as I remain in his life I didn't care. Everyone grows out of crushes, right???
