Things I Find Charming
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
