Random and blah. Not about Camp Rock, or any characters, so fill in your own. This is inspired by a LOT of Taylor Swift songs, so this goes out to her – you should check out her music, it's amazing. Enjoy.
Laughter.
You hear it
As you watch him.
Him.
The reason you go to school
The reason you wake up a half hour earlier than you need to
Every day
To get ready.
The reason you go the long way to history
Just to pass his classroom
In the hopes he'll be outside.
And the same reason for the sleepless nights
And the wet pillow.
The wish you make every night
Before you go to sleep
On every single star
And the reason
For the thousand teardrops
On your faithful guitar.
Because he is talking to her.
And she's laughing.
Laughter.
And he doesn't even see you
He just looks through you
While thinking about her
And he tells you
About her beauty
And her voice
Her brains
And personality
He tells you
All about her love for sports
And you can see him watching her
At every football game
She's head cheerleader
You watch from the bleachers
And you love him
But he doesn't notice
No matter how hard you try.
And every detail that he loves about her
Is another painful reminder
Of what he doesn't know about you
How you love the beach
And your dog
How you can't live without your music
And how you love to read.
But he knows everything about her
While you know everything about him.
So you cut your long, beautiful hair
The hair that you love
You cut it short
To match hers.
And you teach yourself to play football
Hockey
Basketball
Baseball
Like she does.
You study harder
To get the grade
Like she does.
And you do everything
You hate
In the hopes that maybe
Just maybe he'll notice you, too
As more than his friend
And as more than that girl
And maybe
He'll finally see
You for you.
And you try out for cheerleading
Even though you hate it
But you don't make the squad
And he doesn't notice you.
But you keep trying
Hopelessly hoping
That he'll see you
For who you are.
And one day he asks her
To be his girlfriend
She accepts
Who wouldn't?
And you stand by
And pretend to be happy for him
And you fake a smile
And laugh along with them
But they're too busy to notice
How fake it sounds
And how strained it is.
And you congratulate them
When they win prom king and queen
And laugh with them
When they are voted Best Couple
Senior year.
And you celebrate with them
When they are accepted at the same college
But they don't ask if you were accepted into yours.
And when she asks you
A few years later
To be her Maid of Honor
You fake a smile
And laugh
And you accept
Because maybe now
He'll notice you.
R&R please and thank you!
