~ The Quiet Contender ~

I’m just the girl that never breathes a word about how she feels over what she sees,

I just sit and admire you from across the room,

Every time I see you in one.

My eyes blink holding back what I think, hoping it stays that way

That you never notice how much

I want to be the girl that’s more than just a friend:

Being that is better than if I wasn’t in the picture at all.

So I just stay,

The quiet contender

And there isn’t anything I want to or can do to change what you see and think

I’m just the quiet contender,

Who dreams of you as being the one;

The one whose lips will ONE DAY kiss me

Finally,

Telling me what I’m worth!

So I’m just the quiet contender

Who blinks to hold back what she thinks

The girl that never breathes a word

About how she feels, hoping it stays that way

That you never notice what I think of you

Every time I see you in a room Somewhere!

I've been writing as long as I could hold a crayon! Remember writing my first story like it was yesterday at 5. I remember the details of the day, location, time, excitement & where the story was preserved for all time! Lots Born From That!
