If only I didn't get lost in your eyes, then fall in love with your smile, Why do we have so much in common? I guess that's just our style

If only you weren't so funny, If only you weren't so smart, If only we hadn't met, So you wouldn't steal my heart

To you I'm just a girl, If only you would see, That if we took a chance, How perfect we would be

Years from now we'll try it
Then you'll hold me close, A love to last forever, With the boy I chose

The author's comments:
I wrote this when I was crushing on a guy. I thought we were absolutely perfect for each other.

I love this as a contrast to some of your poems. This is about a heart stolen where as some others are about a heart crushed.

I think you are amazing and I am slightly envious of your rythm.

Thankyou :D
