School Bus

By colleen

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The bus left us behind today Again, If you wake up Just half a minute too late You've missed it all. All the happy boys and girls Bundled together on the bus And we're still left standing. You'd think we'd be best friends by now We're always the last ones. The last ones at the bus stop The last one's to the party The last one's to realize The lonlieness of holding onto your heart Too tightly. You'd think by now We would'e taken the time To learn each other's secrets, To know more Than that you oversleep too much And I take too long getting ready. But you're still hung up On the time I laughed at you For saying you were in love With me Written December 15th, 2001 © on Dec 15 2001 05:37 AM PST   0 • 10
