YOUR GREATEST FAN
Do you see me smiling like a fool?
Even though you don't see me at all?
For I get weak knees, almost fall
Gross, I want to act composed and cool
Have you seen the way I look at you?
I almost melt, I stammer, stutter,
"Jerk", I think, I'm blushing, "you utter
killjoy". I think I'm having the flu
Lately I can't seem to focus
My mind keeps exiting my head
Near you I turn to a baby, instead
Of a cool guy, I feel aimless
Perhaps if we could have a drink?
Quirky you, dating awkward me?
Resting my head against your Tee,
Staying the night.. perhaps.. in sync?
The crowd dances to your latest hit
Up stage I run, my arms open wide
...
Villain! Guards tackle and push me aside.
Warm tears, this is the end of it.
