She Fell For the Other You

A girl loves a boy all along, but he is too obvlivious to see.

It was in the second grade
she saw you sitting there.
Alone, by yourself,
your orange curly hair.

Freckles hid your pale face,
with pimples, acne and more.
Your green eyes peered out,
head down to the floor.

You were the outcast of the grade,
and that was what had her lured.
She loved how you were different,
and the vicious comments, you ignored.

You only talked to her a few times,
from second grade to eight.
High school would be approaching,
and she just knew it was fate.

The girl had planned out
of what she would say.
Replaying the conversations in her head,
for the very first day.

Ninth grade arrived.
She saw you sitting there.
Not alone, not by yourself,
but accompanied by people who weren't there.

They weren't there when you needed someone,
they liked you for your new looks.
And unlike them, from the very start,
you really had her hooked.

Straightened hair dyed black,
you looked a little withdrawn.
Your faced cleared up, glasses disappeared,
she stared at the changes you'd undergone.

It's unfortunate for you, boy,
for you were too obvlivious to see.
The girl that loved you all along,
she was no stranger, she was me.

I really like it. There always seem to be a few of those people everywhere. They change who they are to fit in they don't realize just how fast the years go by and that they will probably never see any of those kids again, so why bother change just to fit in. Standing out is fun! I don't get why people say they want to fit in then say that they want to stand out. ... uggg my brain hurts.

Aw, this is so bitter sweet.
Really. I almost want to cry because this is real.
This is life.
Beautiful.
As for the "undergone" part, personally I'd just change "you" to "you'd" so I'd read like this:
"she stared at the changes you'd undergone."
Very good.
