I sit in the cafeteria

My eyes lock on the boy of my dreams

Feelings of happiness bubble up, a warm fuzzy feeling

He glances over and I try to catch my breath

A broad smile appears on his face

Does he notice me?

A flash of color, a frilly dress

The girl prances over to embrace him

The girl who has stolen him away

Tears spring to my eyes as they walk off, hand in hand

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is several hours later

It is after school, me and the boy are alone

I feel his presence next to me as I walk him to the car

A wave of courage passes through me

And passes

We are almost to the spot where we will say farewell

Until the next day

Another spot of bravery comes forth

I ask the question

"Are you dating anyone?"

He shakes his head no and smiles back at me

The car door opens and he gets in

We wave goodby

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is the next day

He is with that girl again

Rumors spread that she broke up with her old boyfriend

To be with HIM

She grabs his hand and glares over her sholder at me

They start to walk away

I feel my heart split in two and i am empty inside

I feel my heart ach for him

He glances over his sholder, and gives me that smile

That smile . . .   :)
