Prompt: Measure Up
Character: Teddy Lupin

Yeah, you've got it a l l
Because you're the boy with rainbows and sunshine
You can be anything you want
With just a s i m p l e thought
(But, really, that's never been enough)
And she's the b r i l l i a n t one
With the shimmershine hair and glittergleam eyes
And her nose in a book every second of the day
How are you gonna m e a s u r e up?
She loves her books too much, see
So she's used to all of those
Heroes and princes and knights in shining armor
And f a i r y t a l e happy endings
What can y o u possibly give her?
How can you ever beat that?
(You know you can't)
So just g i v e it up, lover boy
(But, see, you can't just do that
Because she's glittergleam and shimmershine
And it's never really been that e a s y)
So what are you gonna do, lover boy?
She's way out of your league
And maybe you can't have a n y t h i n g, after all
But you'll keep on waiting
Because it's i m p o s s i b l e to stop loving her
Isn't that right, lover boy?

Ahaha! So this is a sequel-ish thing to my last one! Number three will probably be something different… I haven't decided on a character yet, though. We'll see, I guess.
