Jeff Tanzi - From Hello

At night we talk about all the guys you like. And it kills me to think you are going to give one of those jerks another chance. If you would just look closer to your heart you will find me there with roses, chocolate, and awaiting arms. But you refuse to see that. You prefer the guy who is better looking and popular. When you date someone, you always say he is the one. The one you love, the one who is there for you, the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. The a couple of weeks later the same thing happens. Like always your “Mr. Right” will break up with you and you will come to me for advice. I will comfort you, hold you, and cry with you. But I will cry for different reasons. You cry for the guy you lost. I cry for the girl I never had. You cry for the life you could have had. I cry for the life I will never know. And my biggest fear I sadly realize has come true. You do not want me. You will always want the popular guy. The varsity quarterback or the basketball all-star. You will never want a guy like me. A guy who has always been there for you. A guy who has cried with you and laughed with you. A guy who thinks you look better after you wake up than you do when you take three hours to get ready. The guy you never knew you had. The guy you had from hello.
