Have you ever been in love with someone who's flaws and shortcomings always seemed to get in their way? But you love them so accept them the way they are flaws and all. That's what I was thinking of when I wrote this.
According to a test my brain's only worth fifty cents.
I don't know much but I've got a book and some common sense.
I don't know much but I know that I love you.
You know my love is true.
I don't do well in school but I pass with straight cs.
When you and I put our heads together we can find a way to have fun.
You get a rope. I'll get a tire. we can tie it to a branch and swing from the trees.
If you put a math problem in front of me it'll go over my head.
I'll wish I was dead. OK, I'm not a smart guy.
But you love me. That makes me feel like I can fly.
Things don't come to me with ease.
I don't know how to show you how I feel
but my shirts have hearts on the sleeves.
I love you because you love me.
When I'm with you I don't have to be anything special.
I'm enough just being me.

LOVE ISN'T ENOUGH TO MAKE HER STAY
I never had this problem but I have a few friends who's relationships ended for this reason.
Maybe love was enough to make her want you.
But now it's not enough to make her stay with you.
Once, she chose you. Now she wants to leave you.
You can love her until it tears you apart.
You can love her until it breaks you heart.
She will leave you and go away.
Love isn't enough to make her stay.
Once, all you had to do was smile and she'd kiss you.
Once all you had to do was listen and she'd hold you.
Once, you were her rock. You were her shoulder.
Now she wants more because she's gotten a few years older.
She will leave you and go away.
Love isn't enough to make her stay.
She'll say goodbye and walk away.
Love isn't enough to make her stay.

Mr. Frost
I found a book of poems that I wrote when I was in college. I decided to revise one of them. When I originally wrote this I was thinking of the poet Robert Frost.
MR. FROST
I'm following Mr. Frost. He's going somewhere.
I want him to lead me. I'm following Mr. Frost.
He's got something he wants to show me.
I'm following Mr. Frost. He's my guide.
We're both searching for our pride.
He knows this road like the back of his hand.
When we get to the end our destination will be at hand.
This is his road. He always takes it. He says that's because there's less traffic on it.
I'm following Mr. Frost. He's my guide.
We're both searching for our pride.
