LOVES LONGING PART III

“Hi!” I finally said it out loud
Instead of imagining scenarios like usual
I walked up to her and said it
I wonder what exactly will happen now
I’ve got to make sure she doesn’t see
What I feel, who she is to me
I’ve got to act normal, act cool
And hope she doesn’t ignore me

He just talked to me, I can’t believe it
How can this be possible?
Did he really just wave and say Hi?
Did he just smile at me?
Oh no, what should I do?
How should I reply?
For now, all I can do is go along
And say the same, “Hi!”

“Is it okay, do you mind,
If I take a seat behind?”
Did I just really say that out loud?
Oh God, I’m so very stupid
I’m sure she’ll just refuse
I’m just another guy
Won’t she tell me to leave?
I wish I could just die!

“Sure!” I think I replied
Right now, my heart is thumping
So hard and so fast
I can barely breathe
Is he really the same guy?
The one that never spoke
The one that always seemed
To be off in a land of dreams

Thankfully, she agreed
I really must be out of my mind
I can’t believe she talked to me
Maybe this is the chance for me!
I’ve got to gather my courage
And just go for it now
I’ll never get another opportunity
“I’ve always admired your laugh.”

“Oh, really? I’ve always thought
That you were off in your own world.
I never knew you noticed me before.”
I said it, I really did; will he think I’m weird for it?
I can’t believe I was so bold
But this is my only chance
I’ve got to do whatever I can to hold
His attention, he may never talk to me again!

“Yeah,” laugh, “I did notice you.
I love the way you talk. I think
You’re probably nicer than anyone
Else in this class.” There, I said that too.
I wonder what reply I’ll get
O well, I have done my best
She should get it now; either she’ll
Be happy or turn around, away from me

I am completely in shock; how embarrassing!
I can’t think of anything to say
Was that his personal way
Of confessing his love to me?
I’ll take the chance that it is
“Well, then, shall we be friends too?
I’d love to take this chance to get
To know you!” I wonder what he’ll say.

“Okay! That’s great! Let’s be friends!
From now on, I’ll tell you about me
But you have to tell me too
Everything you like or hate
I want to know the real you!”
Was that too much, too cheesy?
But it was the truth so it’s okay
Lets see what she has to say

“That’s fine by me! I’ll tell you
Everything you want to know.
In return, tell me everything about you.
Lets hang out together later;
I promise it’ll be fun!”
There, that was a nice reply
Starting from friends, going on to lover
This is my chance, so I’ll try!

Thinking these things, both of them
Went on to becoming close friends
Eventually, they realized the love
That had sprouted long ago
In their hearts had grown even more
And so they loved, and lived
Through many, many things
And, with love, together died
