you're going to meet someone who makes your heart run 300 beats per minute
who will compliment your shoes and teach you a drum line
and you're going to think about them every night
but when you realize that if he liked you, he would say more than just "hey cool shoes"
you're going to straighten out your skirt and keep your eyes on the teacher
and it's going to feel incredible
you're going to meet someone whose voice makes your ears ring
who's going to make you want to rip out your teeth one by one
and you'll put up with them for months
but when you finally realize some people aren't like the weather and they just don't change
you're going to wash your hands and delete their phone number
and it's going to feel amazing
you're going to meet someone who keeps you on your toes and waiting
they'll tell you they love you but treat you like a burden
and you'll wait for a long time while they walk all over you
but when someone comes into your life and treats you like gold at the end of a rainbow
you'll realize that you're even more than that
you're the whole damn rainbow.
