If you were to ask me
What I noticed first about you,
I would say
Your incredable sense of humor.
I noticed your muscles next ;)
I watched you from a distance,
Afraid to come to close to
Your little group of friends.
We spoken once,
A quick few words.
A couple teasing remarks.
I didn't think you even really noticed me.
I dodn't think you knew
My name,
Whereas everyone knows yours.
And then today,
You were the only one
To cheer me on
As I ran the bases
And it made me feel special.
Do you know the effect
Your words had on me?
I felt like I could have
Hit an in-the-park
Home run.
I couldn't have,
But I felt like it.
Then,
When we were going in
For the day,
You made me laugh
And you knew you did.
Is that why you winked at me?
Did you recognize my laugh
And know where I was?
Did you know,
The other day,
Just how much I needed a smile?
Is that the reason for the beautiful smile
You gave me?
It truly was beautiful.
So beautiful,
It took my breath
Away.
But I dare not get too close.
I have a bad habit
Of striking out fast with boys.
But maybe,
Just maybe,
With some time
And a little practice,
You could be my in-the-park
Home run.
