Heart Of Gold


Pontius Cried Wolf:

It's a different world you live in, my love. You walk down the street and they all look at you. The girls are envious that they are not the woman you are. The men are intimidated. They all admire your beauty. They try to get your attention. It took you time to accept it, but you still feel like you don't understand. I used to look at you everytime I walked by you. Wanting your attention. In awe of your great looks. Wanting you. Then one day I stopped looking and you began to notice me. You were so used to people looking at you, that you didn't find it odd at all when people stared at you with intensity. Yet it made you uncomfortable to not be looked at by people. It made me uncomfortable to not look at you that way at first, but it wasn't your fault. I just thought you were out of my league.

Finally, today, we crossed paths with each other again. I finally approached her and looked her in the eye, ready to give her a chance with me. She then said, "Hello!" I nodded. She followed with, "It's been so long since we've talked. How was Australia?" I told her I didn't go to Australia. She then realized that she had me mistaken for someone else and walked away.

It's a different world you live in, my love. It's the world you make it to be. I actually convinced myself that you liked me.
