With all your snobbishness and shallowness
I wonder why I still see the light
Perhaps that first instance, your smile behind the counter
and the gentle way you set my coffee mug down
with the weird way you introduce your weird name
caught me, and still lingers.
Somehow despite my friend hating you,
there are times when I watch you taking photos
of a laughing kid, and at how much you enjoy
entertaining guests, and then I think that
maybe you're not that bad after all.
And the way you already know my name
and gave me the seat you've been eyeing for,
I know it meant nothing but I feel a little closer anyway.
And I know they take you for granted and step on you
but I see a flower trampled over and I wished
that they realized your worth.
That yes, you are a jerk, kinda lame, but also kinda cute,
and you deserve someone to be with even in your alone time
and maybe, just maybe,
I hope that you could capture even for a moment
that it could be me.
