Part 1:

Okay, this is it—I’m doing this now!

No turning back, I’ll figure out how.

I’ve been waiting forever, I can’t delay,

What if he likes me? What will he say?

My hands are shaky; my heart feels loud,

But his smile—it’s soft, it clears the crowd.

I’ll tell him, “Hi! You’re amazing, you know?”

No…too much. Maybe a casual “Hello.”

What if he laughs? What if he doesn’t care?

But what if he smiles and it’s all right there?

A connection, a spark—it could be real!

I want to tell him just how I feel.

Okay, deep breath, one step, then two…

Oh no, he’s turning—what do I do?

And suddenly—it’s like time froze,

“Hi, I…” and the rest, who knows.

Part 2:

I told him how I really feel,

My words were shaky, but they were real.

He paused a moment, then looked away,

And gently said, “I can’t feel that way.”

My chest grew tight, my world felt small,

I tried to smile, to stand up tall.

“It’s okay,” I said, though it wasn’t true,

My heart was heavy, cracked in two.

He walked away, and I stayed behind,

A whirlwind of thoughts spun through my mind.

But even in hurt, I softly knew,

One day, I’ll heal and start anew.

Even as tears ran down my face,

I felt the world a better place.

I finally got it off my chest,

Although rejected, still I’m blessed.
