What we could be

by Cheyanne   May 14, 2005


I hear you talking to your friends
Once in a while sweet laughter escapes
I’d stay there till time itself ends
But class is starting, don’t want to be late

I follow you in the shadow of your stride
just waiting for a glimpse to see your smile
wondering if you’d take a chance or only wave goodbye
just admiring your voice for awhile

that angel's beauty sitting next to me
watching a life video in Biology
I try to bring myself to speak
before I lose courage and get weak

she fixes her hair as if without a care in the world
she takes off her jacket heavy with hurt
she doesn't believe she's attractive
if only I could get the nerve to tell her otherwise

looking at her in bio class
hoping that I may have a chance
I would do my best to make her happy
If only she would notice me

no sound but the video's murmurs
no light except the televisions dim colors
it'll take away the spot light from this
so now I lean to her ear and I whisper this:

hey I really like you
and there's just something about you
I don’t know how to explain
but you just amaze me

she just stares at me
out of surprise not of loon
she says no one has said that to me
only if you told me sooner

I used to watch you
As you got your food each day
I used to try to touch you
As you walked by in the hallway
I used to really like you too
But it’s been so long
And I needed to move on

and then it turns out she has a boyfriend
I see him come up and kiss you her soft lips
I tell this angel girl, I hope we can be good friends
and then I start to change seats

so many thoughts going through my mind
so many feelings unexplained
if only she and I had our time
I know from it love would have came

Instead I try to close my eyes
As my heart is ripped from the inside
I should have told her sooner
But at least I know she liked me too

At least she knows the truth
Even though she’s the girl I lose
She’s knows she’s cared because of this
And I hope her life will be full of happiness

Me: I take my new seat in the back of the class
that angel's beauty sitting a few seats by me
watching a life video in Biology
we become friends after that
but not a day goes by for me
where I wonder what we could be

Angle Girl: I watch as that angel moves seats away
I can’t take me eyes off this angel today
We became friends later on
And I pretend I feel nothing at all
But not a day goes by for me
Where I wonder what we could be
