Hey.
Wait a minute.
Please.
For me.
I need to ask you
something
before I get
higher
that I already
am.
It's really
not too hard,
just a simple yes or
no
question.
It's been on my mind for
a long time
now.
I've been
guessing,
watching,
waiting for the right moment
to ask you.
I just need to know
this
one thing.
And don't worry about
what your answer might
do
to me.
I just need to know
if...
well...
If I asked you to
smile at me,
walk with me,
hold hands with me,
talk to me,
laugh with me,
listen to me,
hug me,
hold me,
kiss me...
If I asked you to love me...

Would you?

The author's comments:
Really, I'm not all that pathetic in real life, but without exageration, poems like these would be pretty bad. The real story behind this... well, I've been crushing on this boy in my class for a while now, and a few friends of mine are throwing a dance party 2 weeks from now. I want to ask him to dance with me, but I'm scared of what he might say...
