When you Like a Boy

What do you do when you like a boy 

Whose smile doesn't reach his eyes, 

Whose laugh seems rare but beautiful, 

Who's secretly so shy? 

What do you do when you like a boy 

Who's fallen at the feet 

Of girls like you, each beautiful 

But heartless, cruel and mean?  

What do you do when you like a boy 

Whose confidence is low 

Who wont see he's incredible 

And wont let you let him know?  

What do you do when you like a boy 

A boy who's good and sweet 

A boy who's such a gentleman 

Who you've been lucky just to meet?  

Here's what you do when you like a boy 

You take him by the hand 

Knock down the walls he's put in place 

And make him understand.

Author's Note

for the boy I like, just the way he is

Wow!
Very well written and it touched me,
Can I just say though, you have potential!
Please continue to write and read!
Can you by chance look at my story The Blonde Girl, It would really mean a lot to me.
Your new fan,

Wonderful piece. I'm curious, however, why you used who's instead of whose. Is that gramatically correct? (I'm just asking, I'm not a native english speaker)

[Eala Cartwright]

hi:) I'm really glad you liked the piece:) and yes, i'm pretty sure saying 'who's' is correct because in the context it's 'who is', the apostrophe almost replaces the i and joins the two words :)

[Archos]

Yeah, but isn't it possessive pronoun in 'who's smile...'?

[Eala Cartwright]

ah, yes hahaha, i was looking at the wrong bit !! thank you for pointing that out:) x

[Archos]

No problem. I was just afraid I was making a fool of myself.

It's refreshing that a girl can like such a timid boy (who paradoxically, seeks perhaps strong femme fatales).

Most women like the alpha male a******s lol

hahaha i completely agree! i try to never look at boys like that - there's always the initial attraction, but then I'd rather just get to know them, usually as friends initially before deciding then if i think that they're the sort of person that i would want my parents to meet. I've always been a sucker for the gentleman haha
