Lesson learned: Just be yourself.

I.

So once again she turned my pleading down
But that will not make me stop and frown
Although she wounded my heart so deeply
I am still gonna make her love me…

II.

Promise to follow wherever she goes
Make sure she sees me and she really knows
She’s in my class and it will be easy
I will do it to just to make her love me…

III.

I will slip love notes inside her books
Give her passionate and adoring looks
Stop being weird and acting clumsy
I will adjust, just to make her love me…

IV.

I’ll study hard till my grades are good
And not just depend on my teacher’s mood
I’ll answer recitations, she will see
I’ll improve myself and make  her love me…

V.

I’ll be known in and around the campus
Throw my weight around, be really famous
Join contests, games, any activity
Even cheering, just to make her love me…

VI.

I’ll flirt with girls to make something start
even a small flame of pain in her heart
Will a pinch ensue, a little envy?
I’ll make her jealous, make her love me…

VII.

I’ll change for the better and let her see
For her I can be the best I can be
But it won’t be me she’ll be loving free
Somebody else and not the real me…

VIII.

So the next time she turns me down again
It won’t be the fake me who’ll take the pain
My resolve will just be a complexity
I’ll just make sure she loves the real me…

    That was really cool dude – and I am sure so many blokes can relate to that. For me it is “Stop being weird and acting clumsy”. Hmmm – still a problem for me :-)
