You hope they don't see you
shift your sleeves
You hope they believe you
when you tell them
the red sweep on your wrist
are from the elastic band

I hope he believes me
when I tell him I love him
because I never
believe myself

You hope he would notice
if you never looked
in his eyes again
You hope he would miss you
if you never said
'I miss you' again

I hope people will remember me
by the good things I said and did
and not by the sad face
I always ruffled up
