When it comes to the love game
It can’t be spelled out easily
There are no exact rules
I didn’t even know I was playing
Until others asked about my feelings
I never feared getting cooties
There was a boy that interested me
He was always fun and knew so much
Then I learned about unrequited love
At school, and everyday since then
I learned about jealousy when
I wasn’t the girl he gazed from afar
And never his Juliet in his play
I learned pain when I moved away
Every day I hoped to get a second chance
To prove I could be what he wanted
As a friend and so much more
Eventually I tried to moved on
To others who didn’t see me
After some time we talked
Everything seemed all right
Until I tried to play the game
With all my heart on the line
With more to lose but I rolled
The dice that made me lose again
Yet the game keeps playing all around
Leaving me on the sidelines
Wanting to win and have it all
