I sit anxiously closely watching the time
Drowning out the sound of the teacher’s voice
Wishing that the school’s bell will not chime
And hoping that I made the right choice

I turned around in my seat and glanced back
Watching you open the carefully folded note
I slouched in my chair trying to be laid-back
Knowing at this moment, you were reading what I wrote

In that note, I wrote what I felt
I poured my feelings onto that piece of paper
How when I’m around you I just seem to melt
And that for some reason I felt much safer

In that note, I shared my secret
The secret that only my best friends knew
Hopefully, this was a secret I won’t regret
And that it was worth sharing it with you

I looked down at my watch, staring at the second hand
The period was coming closer to the end
In that note, I asked for your reply as a small demand
All you had to do was write back telling if I was more than a friend

The bell rang, making me jump out of my thoughts
I was hoping you would reply back before the end of class
I guess what I wrote was just filled with faults
And that I would just have to let it all pass

I quickly left the room, trying to avoid your eye
Nothing could be worse than what I felt just then
I slowly walked to my next class trying not to cry
Thinking how stupid I was and that I would never do that again

The day went by all depressing and slow
I couldn’t stop thinking of the note and you
And all the thoughts and feelings I had to undergo
I walked blindly to my locker thinking, what was I supposed to do

As I stood before my locker, I opened it miserably
As I packed the books I needed for home, I felt a tap on my shoulder
Turning around, you handed a note to me
I took the note everything was a blur

My hands trembled as I read
I felt your eyes on me, waiting for my reaction
In that note, “I like you too” is what it said
Smiling, I looked up and knew something was about to begin

You smiled back and said, “I tried to find you all day”
I continued to smile, unsure whether to cry or shout
Looking down at the note, then back up at you, not knowing what to say
Thinking, how could I ever have any doubt?
