I sit,
Wait,
Watch,
Watch for the perfect moment
To speak my mind

He sits,
Waits,
Watches
Watches to see what I will so
Watches to see if I will speak.

They sit,
Wait,
Watch,
Whatch for the moment
The moment in which I will speak my mind

She sits,
Waits,
Hopes,
Hopes for the moment in which
I will stop talking
Stop talking about the boy
The boy of which rules my mind.

We will sit,
Wait,
Watch,
For the moment
The moment in which I will have the courage
Enough courage to speak my mind
Enough courage to say to him,
"I love you."

This is about how I love a boy in my class and how I keep wanting to tell him. I talk about him too much and my friend gets annoyed. He likes me too, I think.
