However Long It Takes
I am in love with a smile,
That fills my stomach with butterflies,
I stare back, unconscious,
A smile hidden behind a disguise,
I am love with a pair of eyes,
That look at me now with hate,
I search for that little sparkle,
A sparkle that was left to disintegrate,
I am in love with a nose,
That breathes in the air around me,
I am left breathless, anticipating the exhale,
But there is no longer a steady breeze,
I am in love with a pair of ears,
The eardrums vibrating to the sound of my voice,
Can they honestly not hear me now?
Or are they blocking me out by choice?
I am in love with an embrace,
That sends shivers I can’t soothe,
From a boy who no longer has a face,
From a boy I once thought I knew,
I am envious of a smile,
That I no longer get to see,
I stare back, hoping,
But I can only hear it laughing without me,
I am envious of a pair of eyes,
Where no tears were shed
The day that sparkle vanished,
The day I felt less than dead,
I am envious of a nose,
That deprived me of how I feel,
Leaving me on the now scentless road of life,
How can someone be both fake and real?
I am envious of a pair of ears,
That care only for what others say,
When will they learn those opinions don’t matter,
I don’t know how long I can wait,
Are you in love with a girl
Who remembers who you were?
The girl you now avoid
Because you are too embarrassed to be seen with her,
Are you envious of a girl
Who doesn’t need to hide?
Who can stare, effortlessly,
And see past your hurtful disguise,
There is no need to be envious,
Because this girl is just a disgrace,
For she will still be in love with this boy,
When he finally decides to show everyone else his true face,
However long that takes.
