Waste of time

I knew this girl she had a funny voice
We could never really talk on the phone
I would laugh even without a choice
Even if she had the most serious tone

Within months I realized who she was
This girl was the biggest waste of my time
Those months made my mind turn into fuzz
I would have traded them just for a dime

I have learned a lot from this stupid girl
Back then we thought we had each other on lock
The though of her just makes me want hurl
Now she is my favorite person to mock

In school I sometimes see her in the hall
I would walk past her hoping she would fall

Happy Days

I was at a friend's house when she was there
Her beauty amazed me so much that day
With the most gentle smile and long brown hair
When we spoke I did not know what to say

Even though we have met many times before
we never did share a moment like this
I dreamed that one day we would spend more
The great days would come as did the first kiss

With the fifteenth day of October
Came the feeling that I was finally complete
Smiles would not leave my face as I had her
Something that nothing in this world could beat

Even now I am the proudest who i became
Because without her, I would not be the same
