• Everytime I see your face
    You're staring back at me
    And in your thought's run the questions
    "Who the hell are you, and why are you staring?"
    And in my mind run the questions
    "Does she know who I am, and do I ever have a chance of being with you?"
    And I somewhat know the answer
    DOUBTFUL
    But I just can't shake that one feeling
    That one little feeling
    In the very back of my mind
    That we coul one day
    Be seen as a couple
    As one person
    Bonded by love
    And nothing else
    I'm shocked
    as you stand
    and start walking in my direction
    And sit in the chair across from mine
    And so
    Foolishly,
    I hide behind a newspaper
    And hum an odd song
    I've just made up
    "Hello."
    You say
    In that calming voice of yours,
    My heart skips a beat
    and melts
    I peek around the paper and stare into your eyes
    speechless
    You pull a napkin from the dispenser and
    wipe the whip cream off my chin
    "You messy idiot!"
    I yell at myself inside my head
    She laughs at the look of dismat on my face
    "You're funny!"
    She says
    She thinks I'm funny.
    Funny!
    Not Smart
    Not smooth
    Not clever
    She thinks I'm bloody funny
    "Let me buy you a coffee."
    She offers
    I slammed my paper down
    That's the man's job!
    "What would you like?"
    I ask her
    She grins
    "Your name and phone number!"
    She says in reply
    That feeling in the back of my mind was growing.
    She leaned over to me
    and kissed my cheek
    I nearly fainted. I wrote my name and number down on a napkin
    Which she put in her pocket.
    "M'kay, Alex."
    She says.
    "I hope to see you again."
    "You will."
    I tell her.
    She's in my seventh period Biology class.
