And The Nerd
You were smart like me but I hid in the background
While you hid in the open but didn't let it go to your head
You were certainly far from being mr. perfect
While I myself was like a JENGA mess
You'd never know when I'd collapse
You had your flaws and accepted them
For me it took time and patience
As well as becoming one with myself
Despite what others thought
You took everything in stride not because you wanted to
But because you had no choice so please don't lie
You were one of the popular kids in high school
On the basketball team no less you could've had any girl
In the world but you choose me the girl hiding in the shadows
The so called freak with brains
That was constantly lost in her head
After the disappearance of her father
She had big black glasses and mousy brown curly hair
And that day changed us both for the better
And it's far better than we are making it see
We both changed into a far better person than
Anyone else or rather we thought that you could be
But your perfect to me in every single way
You helped me come out of my shell
By pulling me from the shadows and into the light
Making me feel like I was the queen of the castle
You were my knight and shining armor
Protecting me from the demons and dragons
Of everyday living by showing them who's boss
By cutting them down to size
And chasing the remainder of them all away
When I am around you Calvin I feel like I am on cloud nine
When I am with you I am lost in my own little world
Being with you makes me feel like I am on top of the world
And I don't know what I'd do without you
If I ever truly lost you I don't want to think about
It because I might cry myself to sleep
And break your heart too
