One Loser Crush

I walk into school, ignored by all
Nothing changes as I slouch down the hall
People push and shove as they sneer
They think of me as the awful queer

But one little thing brightens my day
A smile from Rachel as she walks away
She is the one, the Queen of Cool
She is the one that rules the school

One day as I slouch, sit alone during lunch
I hear some commotion from the popular bunch
I listen to the yelling and the gasps go around
As Derrick gets up, throwing his chair to the ground

Are my ears lying, did I hear what I heard?
YES! Yes it is, true is the word
Derrick is gone, he is left from sight
Rachel my sweet is gone from his might

Her angel blue eyes flash my way
It looks as if she has something to say
Her stare pierces my skin and sends up a jolt
It gives me new energy, like a newborn colt

The next day at school, she walks up to me
Without any girls I am happy to see
“Hey,” she says calmly with ease,
“Come with me to the dance, please.”

I cannot speak, lost in disbelief
I am no longer sad or full of grief
“Y-yes,” I manage to reply
I am surprised, mostly I’m shy

A big smile spread across her face
A clumsy guy gets a girl of grace
She bends over and gives me a kiss
Right on the lips, she doesn’t miss

Happily she bounces away
As I wait, soaking up the day
Love is true, but love is blind
The very next day, I’m left behind!
