Jessie Hopkins (9/23/94 / Missouri, United States)
Falling
I met you in homeroom
and my heart began to race.
We instantly became friends
but my feelings grew at a fast pace.
I don't understand how this happened,
but I don't want it too ever end.
'Cause I'm falling, falling fast.
I want this feeling to always last.
Please listen to me.
I think this was meant to be.
You give me a small smile
and I can't help but blush.
I have to tell you now.
I can no longer keep this hush, hush.
I don't understand how this happened,
but I don't want it too ever end.
'Cause I'm falling, falling fast.
I want this feeling to always last.
Please listen to me.
I think this was meant to be.
