SCORE OF HEARTS

The moment I first saw you
Your score in my heart was Zero
Though you look fair and nice
My heart wasn't at all hypnotized

Then you smiled at me and said nice things
Yoor score in my heart jumped to Ten
You told me I looked familiar and funny
Your score suddenly reached Twenty

You talked so smart and sound friendly
Your score increased to Thirty
What are my hobbies? you asked me
I then realized your score is up to Forty

We talked a while with sincerity
After that, your score was Fifty
We bid goobye for the night
You kissed my checked and hugged me tight

The next morning when I wake up
Your score in my heart was high and up
I realized you're mysterious yet interesting
Someone worthy of my loving

By the time we meet again
I wanted us to be more than friends
You held my hand and said No
Because my score in your heart was Zero

I ask you girl of what I did
You said the moment you saw me I scored a Hundred
By the time we talked and shared point of view
I was too self-centered, I'm not good for you.
