Mr. Jewel's Time of Day Where I Wait
Some days, I just want to scream and pound my fists
 Other days are just like this
 I'm sitting here writing, something I love to do
 And there you sit, just being you
 
 Maybe one day, I'll get the guts to tell you "Hey." 
 But just like today, I'll blush and stutter trying to find something to say
 I blushed bright red and looked down 
 You just smiled and turned around
 
 Any other day, I'd be able to say SOMETHING, 
 But today was weird, and I was clumsy and moping
 So when you showed up, I was caught unaware
 I hadn't put on make-up or done my hair
 
 Yet, today, there you stood in all your glory
 I don't even know how I continue with this story
 But you see I stood there in awe,
 and all you said was "May I speak to your Ma?"
 
 My knees buckled, my arms shook
 My sister chuckled from behind her book
 My mom appeared and spoke with you
 And then she left, looking for her list of things for you to do
 
 Yes, it's true, I've fallen for this guy
 The guy who puts the sun in my sky
 Also the guy who runs our drama department carpool
 Yes, he can drive! We'll call him Mr. Jewel.
 
 So while my mother searched for her list and left us alone,
 I pardoned myself and searched for a comb
 I dolled myself up in 5 minutes flat
 Even you were impressed by that
 
 When the list was found it was handed to me
 "Perhaps you could help her find the groceries?" 
 I rolled my eyes, and Mr.Jewel smiled
 "Of course, but that list may take us awhile."
 
 So he drove us to the store and back to the house
 I couldn't say anything, I'd become as meek as a mouse
 Then we unloaded and left again
 We had theater practice, Lead females, and ALL of the men
 
 That's how we got to where we are now. 
 A fifteen minute break seems so much shorter, somehow.
 We're waiting for our scene, kind of like how I'm waiting for you
 But then again, I'm impatient, too...
