Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Why can’t I get up And walk over to her? She seems very nice She talks Smiles Laughs Looks over… Her eyes stop on me But just for a second But that second delivered so much It is a second longer Than anyone else got She wants me I know it… Then why can’t I just get up And walk over to her? She seems very nice Written September 18th, 2001 © on Sep 18 2001 01:25 PM PST   18 • 0 • 8
