Not You


Simply because...
You are too strong yet too fragile for me.

Although you smell good, your nails are long.
You see, long fingernails for boys turn me off.
Every girl in school wants you.
Limelight hugs you because of your boy-next-door looks,

Too bad, I never liked the limelight.

Some weeks ago, you surprised me with your antics.

As much as I'd like to give you an A for your efforts,

Sadly, I hate surprises.

You're famous, alright. But does not bite me at all.
I'm just not the type who'd take everything -
I leave some for others to "feast".
Age does not matter, I know -

But you're way too young for me.

I'm maybe too young to be old,

Too old to be young -
But I promise you,

I'm the oldest 24 turning 25 year old girl you'll ever know.
And just in case, I haven't told you yet -
I am already committed.
Yes, to the same man for the past 5 years

You are a good person,T.
But there's nothing more I could offer you -
Other than exchanges of hi's and hello's.
