Should I watch as you look her in the eye?
You're smile causing her to blush and smile back.
Not knowing that I was watching you.
Holding back tears and not meeting your gaze.

Should I watch as you tell her your name?
As she returns the favor and looks at you intently.
Still not knowing that I know your doing this
Still holding back tears and having immediate doubts.

Should I care if you tell me that you're busy and won't tell me why?
You disappear for a long time and don't bother to tell me where.
It scares me.
How do I know you're not hurt?

Should I fall for when you tell me that you love me?
You barely noticed me in the past
Why are you noticing me now?
Surely it wouldn't have to do with my new skirts.

Should I come over and talk to you despite the fact that you said you hate me?
Afterwards you apologized.
Maybe I could stay for a little while.
But I'm not gonna stay long.

Should I look at you the next day?
My eyes are red, I haven't gotten any sleep last night.
I'll probably get some sleep next period.
You have to tell me something?

Should I smile and nod at what you tell me?
Understand your reason as to why you said that?
I'm not the girl that you wanted
Yet you wanted to sleep with me?

Should I ponder on why you don't text me anymore?
While another holds me and keeps me safe?
I decided not to...

...It's not worth it anymore.
