The girl of your dreams,
I will never be,
b/c she sets the standards
as it seems . . .

I ask myself,
when standing next to her,
can you even say you see me?

Ha - I know that too well. This guy told me once that he was embarassed to admit to his attraction to me because I didn't fit in with that breed of "perfection". Choke.

I enjoyed the poem. Short, which I prefer because I have a short attention span. Also, there's something to be said for a person who can sum it all up in just a few lines. Well done.

it's hard being the one that come after the perfect one, after the standard...
*sigh*
short and powerful write.
