(Simon's POV)
If only I had the chance to talk to her again...
My older brother Alvin gets all the girls, and my younger brother Theodore relates to girls in more ways than I ever could...
Being so unlucky at love (and after watching Alvin's ex-girlfriends dump him and move on), I'm beginning to realize (even though I'm only sixteen) that I might know more about girls than I thought, but the person I want to spend the rest of my life with has to come to me and not the other way around.
Alvin's current girlfriend is being forced not to speak to me, and I don't understand why. I know he gets possessive of his girlfriends (when he has one), but this was ridiculous.
I think it's because he knows I want her...
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
Alvin's last ex-girlfriend moved across town with her sisters a while ago, and every night, I would check on her to make sure that if I couldn't have her, I wanted Alvin to treat her right.
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times
But somehow, I want more
Six weeks ago, I left a note taped to her locker asking if she was okay. She and Alvin fought every day since then, the arguments getting worse and worse every day. I knew Alvin didn't want me around when he was with her, but I can't help it. I love her too much not to worry...
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pourin' rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay a while
And she will be loved
Yeah, she will be loved
Every now and again, I would get notes from her, saying how much she missed talking to me in person. We would always deliver notes to each other via Theodore and her older and younger sister, and we managed to keep the notes away from Alvin.
Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full, and my door's always open
You come anytime you want, yeah
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pourin' rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay a while
And she will be loved
Yeah, she will be loved
And she will be loved
Yeah, she will be loved
After a while, Alvin must have found out his girlfriend was talking to me, since she hadn't gotten a chance to write another note to me.
Brittany sent me a text message about their last fight, and she said that he put her younger sister on the verge of suicide...
I ran to find her before it was too late...
I know where you hide, alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her everytime she falls
After hours of searching, I found her, but it seemed that she was about to do something she would regret...
She had a knife pointed at her neck, and I was just so scared that... I just lost it.
Right in front of her.
Tap on my window, knock on my door
Without knowing it, I blurted out the next line:
"I want to make you feel beautiful..."
She turned around, placing the knife on the back seat of Miss Miller's old car. I knew how she felt - I practically felt like that every day. And after everything that went on, I sensed that she found comfort in me and that she sensed that I knew what happened between her and Alvin.
As I sat down beside her, she moved closer and started crying into my shoulder. I held her, grabbing her hand.
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pourin' rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay a while
And she will be loved
Yeah, she will be loved
And she will be loved
Yeah, she will be loved
"If you left, I'd follow right behind you...
"You mean the world to me, and I couldn't live with myself if you weren't here...
"I need you."
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Without realizing it, I pulled her as close to me as I could, and I did the unthinkable...
I kissed her... on the lips...
And I loved every minute of it.
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pourin' rain
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye...
