High School Cheerleaders and Jocks

High School Cheerleaders and Jocks

 

 

You like someone,

who’s not me.

 

Are you in love?

Could he love you more than I do?

Does he understand…you’re so special?

 

I watch you walk from class to class,

I sit in the shadows.

 

Lunch time is the highlight of my day,

that’s when you say…

“Hi how is your day.”

 

Just as I am about to tell you I have been thinking of you all day,

he slides next to you,

and I hide in the shadows once again.

 

He’s the high school jock on the football team,

he wears the jersey he earned,

and you wear the cheerleader’s team captain outfit.

 

I’m just a band manager,

nothing special,

not even the band considers me a part of the band,

so why should you be seen talking to me.

 

When he breaks your heart you come to me to vent and cry on my shoulder,

then another boy catches your eye,

and I slip into the shadows once again.

 

I was the one you called when you had a bad night,

after he dumped you.

 

You asked me a couple of times…

“How come you don’t have a girlfriend?

You should find someone because you’re a good guy.”

 

How could you have known I found someone.

But you don’t see it was you who I wanted all along?

 

You’re the Cheerleader Captain…

and I am nothing more than the band manager.
