A Stranger With a Dream
It was a normal day.
I walked into class.
I saw you again,
and my heart shattered like glass.
I wanted to grin, to wave,
or just say “Hello”.
But I knew I couldn’t, wouldn’t,
so I kept my mouth closed.
I wanted to scream:
I want to be with you.
But reality is
that dreams don’t always come true.
And so I yearn
for your wonderful smile,
and for when you’ll think to say “Hi”,
even if it’s only every once in a while.
Everyday my friends warn me
that you’re up to no good.
I tell them nothing will happen,
even though I wish something would.
They tell me you’re dangerous,
and I listen and I nod.
But deep inside I shout,
Who cares if he’s flawed?
They tell me your past,
that you’re hopelessly deranged.
But I want to ask them,
What if he changed?
I don’t care what they say,
I’ll always believe in your scheme,
I might be a stranger,
But I’m a stranger with a dream.
Now every night,
I ask the stars that shine,
Why did I fall for the only one
who could never be mine?
