The Build To A Hello

I see you sitting there
I think to myself
You are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen
You are amazing
Perfect in every way
In my mind the most beautiful in the world
You have the perfect smile
You have the voice of an angel
Even though I haven't talked to you much
Said hi in the halls
I may have only had one conversation with you
Even though it did not last long and it was so long ago
It was the most wonderful conversation I have ever had in my life
I don't even think you notice me
I don't think you even know my name
But I do know I can't stop thinking of you
I do know I wonder what you are doing all day
And wonder when I can see you next

But one thing that I do not know, and do not understand
Why you are made fun of
Why people laugh at you
And through your books on the floor
Push you around
Call you names
It kills me a little more on the inside every time I see it
They just see you dressed in black and red
They see you don’t look like them
They don't see you as I do
They don't see the angel
The beauty
The mind

I may not have talked to you much but I have read your stories and poems
They are amazing and touch me every time I read them
It is as if you understand what is happening to me
You amaze me
But I can't talk to you
I am too shy
You wouldn't like me
I do not look like you
I do not act like you
But maybe if I just talk to you
Maybe there is a chance that you may feel as I do
I must take a leap of faith
For if I don't I will never be able to tell you how I feel
And I may miss every chance I have on being with you
And knowing if you could ever love me back
For I love you and I must let you know
No matter how hard it is
Here I go
But no matter what happens
At least I won't be left wondering
There you are
And here I go for better or for worse

Hey, how was your weekend...
