I must have missed that day in school

When we were taught how to speak.

I always mean to say these words.

You know, the ones that make sense.

I didn't mean to blush.

All I wanted to do was thank you

For being my friend.

Maybe, one day, you'll look at me

And see the same thing in my eyes

That I see in yours.

A reason to live.

One day the right words will come out

And you will take me in your arms

And tell me you love me.

You're so much better with words

Than I am.

You can make me laugh and cry

With just one sentence.

You have a gift that I can dream of having.

And you can go to bed knowing

That somebody loves you.
