I honestly can’t explain where this new form of creative energy is coming from. As I’ve said before, I’m not a poet, not even a songwriter. Yet I’ve drafted another one of these…
The moment she steps into the room
She’s one of those lucky girls
’cause she gets all of you
I watch you walk away into the setting sun
Wishing you were holding my hand instead of hers
You look back and I smile, but all the while
I wonder…
Of all the things I want to say
Could you ever think of me that way?
’cause in your eyes I see the stars
You’ve lit this fire in my heart
I’m the flame and you’re the spark
You’ve got me smiling when you’re around
I’m wondering if you see it too
All these things I’d say to you
But instead, I just say hey
You walked me home in the pouring rain
Telling me the list of things you love about her
It’s funny to think that could be me
Does she know she’s your whole world?
What if I said you’ve captured my soul
And I just wanted you to know
I’ve said these same lines over and over
Still I’m left to wonder…
Of all the things I want to say
Could you ever think of me that way?
’cause in your eyes I see the stars
You’ve lit this fire in my heart
I’m the flame and you’re the spark
You’ve got me smiling when you’re around
I’m wondering if you see it too
All these things I’d say to you
But instead, I just say hey
All the things I hide from you
Everything I want to say
It’s everything I wish you knew
But instead I just say hey
Of all the things I want to say
Could you ever think of me that way?
’cause in your eyes I see the stars
You’ve lit this fire in my heart
I’m the flame and you’re the spark
You’ve got me smiling when you’re around
I’m wondering if you see it too
All these things I’d say to you
But instead, I just say hey
So I watch you live out my dreams with someone else
Wishing I could tell you how I felt
Maybe someday
So until then, I’ll just say hey…

I read a little abouut Freeman Sheldon disease (which I had not heard of until I became a reader of your blog). I think it is wonderful you are bringing light to something a lot of people may not know about. If I can ever do anything personally or on my blog to help raise awareness or support research and the cause please let me know. I would love to help. It seems like such a trying disability and I can't believe I never knew about it until now.

I absolutely love your poem. I think I know where the inspiration comes from. Your heart. Your truth. Great job! Love, love, love it. That's real emotion.
takeaguess says
i absolutely love this! especially the chorus/refrain/ i don't know what they are ever called but the repeated part, it's so so good and i love reading your blog!
Just A. Girl says
Once again, I'm reminded of Taylor Swift and her song "You Belong to Me" You should go check it out if you haven't heard it. You can listen to almost anything on playlist.com. Have you ever thought of being a song writer as a career? I think you'd do well.
Just A. Girl says
oops sorry that was "You Belong With Me"
Melissa says
Hi just a girl — thanks for the compliments! I actually love Taylor Swift; she's one of my favorite musical artists right now.
You're the first person who ever suggested I become a songwriter, so thanks! Though I have no idea how one goes about making that a career…. 😉
Damsels says

Iva says
ohh I love that picture!
Melissa says
I know! Isn't that photo beautiful? 🙂
Fat Girls Only says
Just saying "hey". That was a good word to pick. What an interesting way to sum up all that is hiding behind a tiny word. Good job.
