Love Poem: Awaiting

Awaiting

She put my note to you
Under your vocab book,
right before recess...

And that’s when my friend told  me 
You thought that I was strange,
But that you didn’t mean it in a bad way...
and that a small smile flashed on your face...

I laughed
saw you playing basketball,
Your brown-blond hair flying in all 
directions...
I thought about the note...

And now I’m sitting in class...
Awaiting.
