Things I Find Charming


Janet Kuypers (1998)


When there is so much hope

There are so many hopes I have had
And I have hoped for good things
Every once in a while

And maybe I couldn’t have
Everything I ever wanted
And maybe I couldn’t explain that all
To the average person

And sometimes things can go
According to plan
Whether it’s my plan or not
It is still a plan and I’ll take it

And when I heard that he liked me
Well, I gathered that much
By his sign language

Well, then I ate that up with a spoon

And yes, maybe he is a nice guy
And maybe he acted like he liked me
And maybe he was bold enough to say
That I was nice and that I was attractive

Okay, fine, maybe he is shorter than me
And maybe he is younger than me
And maybe he doesn’t live where I do

And maybe he’s cocky and sometimes arrogant

Okay, and he is straight forward and maybe
Also obnoxious
But the problem is that
All of these traits that sound bad
Are things I find charming

Sometimes when you can’t get the man

Of your dreams
You can take the good with the bad
And you can be happy with the good

And maybe I look forward to hearing from him again
If he calls me while I was in town
We will see if that happens
And I can hope
