and when the lights are off
you finally get to think about things,
what you've done today,
the words you wanted to say,
the look in his eyes when he
saw her smile, the way she laughed at his jokes the way you did.

the only difference was,
she's beautiful, perfect teeth,
perfect hair, tan skin, curvy body.
both of you were just t-shirt and jeans, yet she pulled it off like a queen.

then there's him who tell you
about his dreams and his plans,
his slight encouragements, his positive vibe. you fell for him in a blink of an eye.

but he was never looking at you.
that whole time, he was looking at her and you were just a funny blur.
