ACHES [Wattys Winner 2015]

Unmatched Matching

The book in my hand,

Felt livened by the masculine perfume,

To which I associated love,

Cause he used it.

All my senses rose to alertness,

And then I turned to find him

Cross by my side.

I am the girl with glasses,

I am the girl with think novels,

I am the nerd who is unseen,

Especially by likes of his popularity.

I am intelligent,

I am serious about my future,

But even then my heart can beat,

But even then I can fall in the depth of someone's eyes.

He is the guy,

Every girl wants,

Those perfect locks,

Those handsome ways,

But beneath that skin,

Lies a beautiful heart,

That I have seen,

Only I have seen.

I want him to know that,

To see me even with this faceless face,

To at least become friends with me,

To at least smile once because of me,

Nothing more.
