Today I believed

I believed that I could do it

Shaking and terrified

I was going to do it

My friend said "Don't worry. He probably won't say much anyway."

I sighed

She was right

You tend to give one worded answers

I nervously asked "I have 5 minutes, right? Before the bell, I have 5 minutes."

She responded "Baby, you have all year."

I really didn't

This had to be done today

I looked at you

I attempted to call out your name

No words came out

With shaking knees, I walk up to you

I tapped on your shoulder
