Who wouldn't fall for her?

She's everything a guy wants.
very, very beautiful
Some sunshine, a beautiful smile,
a kind heart, a loving hug,
a happy and hearty laugh
good friends and good track record.
She is perfect
And I'm not her.
And I'm in no competition with her
She probably has your full attention
She asks you for dates and credits you
and calls you her friend
She obviously likes you
that she even initiates.
She's everybody's dream girl and you have her
chasing after you.
Damn.
I have nothing. You've been with her longer
and I am in no place.
She appreciates your poetry as much as I do
your wisdom, complexity, and action.
I have seen you defend her,
and boy was I jealous.
I could clearly see that she could be your only one.
Or do I?
Or does a part of me
still hope
that you would like
someone with a dimmer shine,
a smile that isn't always perfect
a life that wanders in fast and slow paces
an absence that wishes for you to chase
a simplicity and a quietness
that hopes to be with you.

I have nothing to fight for with her
But I was hoping
that you would settle
for something less than perfect.
