Defying Expectations.

I used to see you
Hardly ever
Almost never
Once a day
For half a second.

Those little moments
Snippets in time
Were the
highlights
Of my days.

You
were the highlights
of my days.

Then summer came
And you disappeared
Though not
from my mind.

I saw you that one
time.
It felt quite surreal.

I had forgotten the true
beauty
Of your features.

You could say
I'd been numbed
by your absence.

And it was two months
till I saw you again.

Sitting
across
from you
In that circle

I couldn't stop
bouncing;
you had me
on edge.
Like always.

And then
the next
day

I found you
sitting
by my side
In silence.

I made a
fool
of myself.

I'm sure you
noticed.

Dropping my
things.
Everywhere.

Not once
even once
looking you
In the eye.

I guess now you
Know
the fool I
really am.
The fool
you make me
Become.

One hour later,

I discovered
I had to
exist
In your presence
for yet another hour.

You'd be
assisting
my class.

How am I
expected
to get through this?

They can't
possibly
expect me
To get through this.

though i guess
they cant expect me
to have to.
