In the Heart

I have been waiting
for quite a few years,
for the perfect guy to come along
and send away my tears

i thought I'd finally found him
outside at school one day
i thought you were the one
to send my fears away

i should have know
it'd be over before it started
and that i would forever stay
alone and broken hearted

i liked you a lot
for you're funny, charming and nice
i thought i actually had a chance
i guess i should have thought twice

you are older than me
maybe more that it seemed
for i am three years younger
than your mature age of eighteen

i finally got the nerve one day
to ask you for your heart
you said you didn't think you could
and tore my world apart

i heard from a few people
that you would have said yes
but because you are eighteen
you think no is best

i don't really understand
why we can\'t be one
if age is the only thing
that can't be over come

but if you don't like me
the way i hoped you do
then i don't much blame you
i would have said no too

i guess i am writing
this poem to say
that if by chance you change your mind
I'll go out with you any day

I'm sure it's just wishful thinking
hoping you'll change your mind
but I've got all the time in the world
unless someone better you find

age really doesn't matter
at least not in my book
so maybe you will take the time
and take another look

i guess that you don't understand
what I'd give up in this world
if just for a little while
i could be your girl

all of my dreams
would finally come true
if you'd just say yes
and i could be with you

i don't care
how old you are
age doesn't really matter
what does is in the heart
