Smile :)
He flashes his smile
I'm entranced for a while
He turns towards me
I'm as nervous as can be
I quickly look away
To avoid another useless conversation of "Hi" and "Hey"
But I'm too late, he catches my glance
I tell myself, now's my chance
I promise myself that I'll tell
That I'm caught in his spell
I know I love him
But my chances of being with him are slim
He comes closer
My body grows colder
The nearer he's coming
The more restless I'm becoming
He's about five feet away now
I'm tempted to break my vow
But I notice his eyes aren't locked on mine
I take that as a sign
I turn around and spot
The girl who has his attention caught
He walks right by
Not even stopping to say "Hi"
I am hurt
Although it was my fault for being so inert
I missed my time
So I conceal myself within this rhyme
But I will not cry
For not being able to have this guy
I will wait for the time that is right
For my shining armor-clad knight
To come say "Hello"
Because then I'll know
He is the one for me
And we'll be together for all of eternity
Now I don't have to feign
That I feel no pain
Because I never asked you
If you felt the way I do
With this in my head, I smile
And I wait awhile
Hoping someone else will catch it
And feel the same way I did for a bit
