Vampire Prince

The very moment,
That I fell in love with my prince.
I was hooked on him,
Haven't loved another guy since.

I know it's crazy, stupid,
Go ahead and call me insane.
Some think I'm weird,
And for some reason, profane.

But you can't control your heart,
Or tell me who to love.
If I fall for him, I fall,
All you can do is give me a little shove.

I knew him as Vampire Prince,
Didn't even know his real name.
Yeah, yeah, that's just dumb,
But there's always the guessing game.

He was five years older,
And he lived in another state.
He was the perfect gentleman,
I felt that it was fate.

My friends that knew him,
Thought he was totally cool.
And others just thought,
I was a complete fool.

But I guess that made the two of us,
Because he fell for me, too.
I couldn't help but feel happy,
When he told me, "I love you."

Sure, it's childish to do say such a thing,
To a person you've never met.
But we felt that it was real,
It wasn't just some bet.

We honestly liked each other,
Even when our friend liked me.
He understood that we loved each other,
And the love, he said he could see.

So he didn't come between us,
Like a lot of guys did.
He was the supportive best friend,
Who's feelings he never hid.

He stood by us,
When others called us physcotic.
And some people thought,
That our love was hypnotic.

To be able to love someone,
You'd never met in life before.
It's stupid to some,
But if you were us, you wouldn't feel that way anymore.

Too bad something happened,
He started showing up less and less.
And whenever he didn't show up for months,
I would turn into a huge mess.

Our friend would be there for me,
And listened to all I had to say.
I was patient and waited,
And I haven't given up to this day.

I still wait for him,
Though he hasn't shown up for three years.
Before, I'd cry if he didn't,
But I've stopped shedding tears.

I'm just happy that he once loved me,
Even if he doesn't now.
I just know that he still remembers that girl he loved before,
I just know it somehow...
