Girl

He walks down the halls
and everyone stares. No one dares
to mess with him.
They're friends with him.
He's the kind of guy you wanna be around,
but when he's there you're shy and staring at the ground.
He throws out I love you's like they're eraser shavings.
No big deal.
But to her when he says it, it means everything.
He winks and says "You know I love you"
And she may hear him say it
to other girls a thousand times a day
But she thinks it's true when directed at her.
She does anything to hear it again
Does his homework, turns her back on a friend
Anything, anytime just to hear it again.
Who knew
Three small words
I love you
Could have so much power?
Who knew? who knew?
Who knew I loved you?
