Love is the Greatest Confusion
Written by Freddy Gipson

I really don’t know what’s come over me
To like a boy like you
I didn’t realize that I still had these feelings
But I found them when you complimented my shoes
You’re the greatest guy in school
You’re always at the top of your game
Maybe that’s why I admire you so much
Because I know that I’m not the same
Girls flock to you because of your good looks
And I wish that I could too
But when I see how happy you are
I know it’s not the right thing to do
I wish I could tell but you’ve been living so happily
For all these fifteen years
When I know that I can’t tell you
It almost brings me to tears
When I see you with your crowd
I wish that you could see
This overwhelming power you have
To leave such an effect on me
I look at your perfect structure
And wish that you were mine
I want so badly to explain this to you
This happiness that I can’t define
I wish you knew my way with words
My poems and how well they flow
And the words that go along with them
It’s too bad that you can’t afford to know
I smile when I see your curly hair
And your perfect face that’s so very cute
I ask myself all the questions that start with why
And I just can’t do anything but dispute
When I compare you to all of the others
You’re the boy I admire the most
It’s just too bad that no one may know
Because you know that I’d definitely boast
If you ever find out
I can only hope that you’ll feel the same way
Because it is very unlikely
I can’t imagine that you are gay
I only want what’s best for you
As long as you’re happy too
But if you happen to find your way to me
Then I want you to know that I love you
