I once thought I was whole
I didn't need anyone else
I would ignore the outer world
And totally frown upon it
Then one day I got the news
That there was a new kid in the school
The word was passed to everyone
The jocks
The preps
The gothics
The loners
I thought I could care less
About another person that saw through me
But then later that day you walked into my Physics class
With that crooked smiled
And sparkling green eyes
That looked directly at me
You calmly walked down the aisle
To sit next to me
You were the first to talk to me in awhile
You asked my name
And my favorite band
And everything about me
At first I was hesitant
Afraid you were going to use me or at least ignore me
Then slow realized that you were listening
With a face I thought hinted interest
Later while I was at lunch
With my nose inside a book
A heard a thunk next to me
And saw it was you
Again you gave me that beautiful smile
That I couldn't resist
I gave a weak smile in return
It was then I realized that you cared
And that I cared too
And without you I would only be a half
