It's half time, we can say hi to family and friends

I wander around, tagging along with anyone

Then wait and wait until the timer ends

Because I know the people I want to come aren't near.

Unexpectedly, a touchdown happens

There's only 16 seconds left

They miss, but win. The lights blacken.

Another plus for this season's winning streak

I scream excitedly until my voice goes out

I jump into the air, shake my pom poms

The others do the same, running 'round about

I look behind with a smile hoping to see a smile back.

Then I remeber,

He hasn't come to any of the games

With my parents busy I was at least hoping

He'd fill in their spots but seeing his text pains

Me as he informs again that he'll be missing another night.

I know the people I want to come aren't near.

I know I am suppose to cheer

For the boys on our team

But it twists my geers

That no one's cheering for me.
