They love me, they say,
They'll always be there, they say.

I'll say a friendly hello.
Still harboring that crush.
But if he returns the feelings,

and I am having fun too.

I fear everything, my dear,
Though I am sad to say.
I fear many a thing, my love,
Regretfully you among them.
...
Every so often
I picture you and wonder
what I am doing wrong.
Each time we part ways
...
You flirt with me
so jokingly
but what you don't see
is the effect you have on me.
...
I wish that I could write well,
like those marveled for their skill.
But I, I jumble words together,
in sentences not necessarily stable,

I look out my window and watch the rainclouds drift through the darkening sky,
I gaze at the raindrops, admiring the beauty of the storm.
Thunder rumbles through the house, seeming to touch every corner.
The lightning slices through the clouds, harsh but undeniably beautiful.
