I glance at you
From the corner of my eye
You are doing the same
Our eyes meet


we hold the contact
for only seconds
then both smile
and turn away

our friend is watching
confused and questioning
mountains from mole hills
we laugh and tease

Talking that night
We’ll create new jokes
Slip a little flirting
Into the conversation

Am I by my phone?
You call and ask me on a date
Dancing next weekend
I can’t wait!

At nine o’clock
You will leave
I’ll turn off the computer
And reach for my homework

Only to be distracted
Reliving the day
Thinking through memories
The days from sad to happy

So glad I took the risk
Happy to know you
Friends for sure
Maybe something more?
