Loving You Silently Poem by Rose Stern

The whole lesson,
I didn't know what to do,
The girls texted me from across the room,
They calmed my stress down.
I was running out of time,
The clock was ticking down,
The bell was getting closer,
But I was getting no closer to asking you.
Finally, he noticed,
And asked why I was so nervous,
My eyes flicked to you,
But he didn't understand.
I finally asked,
But I didn't even hear it from you,
It was Toby who told me,
You didn't like me.
I don't even know,
If that's what you said,
Or just what Toby,
Said you meant.
Either way,
You said no,
So I'll keep loving you,
Silently.
