Daisy Boy

1
She crawls around her living room floor

Curiously inspecting all of the aspects of life

Gaining knowledge that will help her live

Learning things she didn’t know existed.
2
She walks around her backyard

Watching nature at its peak

Yearning to play with the little bunny rabbit by the tree

Letting the fresh air lift her spirits up
5
She sits by her window and looks up at the sky

Wishing for her dreams to come true

Wanting the stories of Princes and Princesses to come alive

Waiting for the stars to sing her to sleep
7
She runs around her playground with a group of friends

Allowing the energy to burn out of her

Chasing the little boy who gave her a Daisy

Hoping to have gained a new best friend
10
She sneaks behind her tower at her laser tag arena

Having a world’s worth of fun at Daisy boy’s birthday party

Loving life and everything that comes along with it

Enjoying the days of her childhood
11
She crouches down to her locker and waits

Trying not to forget her schedule or combination

Working the hallways of a new school into her mind

Hoping that her best friend, that her Daisy boy, would come and find her
13
She dances at her first dance with all of her best girl friends

Doing her best to remember that she can’t make a fool of herself

Acting like she knows exactly how to dance

Wondering if Daisy boy will show up and see her in the dress that he liked
14
She glances down her long hallway of her high school

Remembering yet another set of classes and faces

Thinking about walking down that long passage by herself, without her Daisy boy

Hoping with all of her heart that she won’t have to
15
She stares at her paper in front of her eyes

Reading the words over and over again because she can’t quite comprehend them

Realizing that her Daisy boy isn’t hers anymore and that she has to share him

Trying to get him out of her heart so she can finish her work
16
She looks up into the face of her Daisy boy who had abandoned her for another

Waiting for the apology that was to come

Reading into all of his facial expressions

Watching him nervously search for the right words


Wondering, suddenly, why her Daisy boy was so stressed out

Hoping that it wasn’t her fault

Searching for a way to comfort him


Speaking, Daisy boy told her he was sorry

Blushing, he told her that he shouldn’t have left her

Acting strange, he told her that he was stupid, and that he missed her


Realizing, finally, what was going on, she told him she was sorry too

Blushing, as well, from the things that he was babbling about, she told him to stop talking

Quieting her Daisy boy, her best friend, before he could say something he didn’t want to



Staring at each other, they both spoke

Muting their tones so that no one else could hear

Blushing at the intensity of their gaze


“I love you.”
