Secret Notes

Secret Notes
By Alissa Graham

Its the girls like you that I want to win.
she writes heart messy poems but works on keeping it together.
She deserves the best.
She doesnt try to hard for number one, because she secretly is
and maybe goes to school for physical therapy.

She gives him a smile out of the corner of her eye
and keeps herself under control when she knows what she really wants.
she eats whole grain bread and is always around.
She wears an extra layer of clothing just to keep warm
and cares less about the show.

Nice guys finish last. so its said
but what about the girls who have laid in bed,
and hope patiently for what they know
dreaming and wishing for something that doesnt seem too out of control.

Its the girls like you that I want to win.
the ones who know what they want to say, but not at the right time.
she has what it takes, to make a difference in life.
working behind the scenes bring smiles to faces
and not attracting all the view.

She builds you up with those cute little things, and wants the best.
She waits for you, sometimes needing what she needs, and freely gives.
I hope you see thats what she needs.
and she likes to travel in the night, probably 2 am.
With depth and height she strains to know what will make love grow.

Its the girls like you that I want to win.
Secret notes written in crayon, a clever heart from contruction paper.
Hidden in your bag after you left.
Its the girls like you that I want to win.

Shes a little rough around the edges, but a temperment that goes down pretty smooth.
You talk for hours and watch the sun go down.
Then you leave her behind for your next shot of overly aggressive caffeine
from the girl that I do not want to win.
I dont want her to win.
But its the girls like you that I want to win.
clap. clap.
