see him at school
talking with a friend
how I wish this lesson
could never end

he’s not in the same set
I don’t see him loads
but at tutor time each morning
my heart explodes

there’s a pounding in my heart
a pounding in my ear
everyone sees me
but no one can hear

the voices I hear
that chirp and squeal
when he looks in my direction
I can’t describe how I feel

the secret almost got out
and I wanted to cry
I denied everything
because I know how to lie

our friendship was strange
after he almost found out
but him being him
was never in doubt

so after a week or two
it was no longer strange
he made it seem as though
there was not a single change

his heart is so pure
my hearts filled up to the brim
but because I’m a coward
I can’t tell him…
