I sit down in class,
Not to work,
But to write.
I sit down to write,
Not about the world,
Not about why.
I sit down in class,
Pen and paper in hand.
I sit down in class and
I never want it to end.
Yes, you heard me right,
I never want it to end
As I sit down to write,
Pen in my hand.
Class could go on, on and one
And on forever more
As I hang in those moments,
In a glance, and in a glance one more.
But, at the same time,
Could I
Live in those moments forever?
As glance by glance
You're in my eye,
Burnt into my mind
For when you're gone in time.
As I see,
That as we sit here in class,
You'll never notice me.
No more than you notice
How you tap your toe,
How I glance your way.
Stuck in these moments,
I slave away.
Breaking my heart
Each and everyday.
I need class to end
As soon as can be,
For in these waning moments,
I cannot come to say
Any of the words
To make you look my way.
With a semester already wasted,
Frozen in that moment,
This time becomes more precious.
I'm left with one question,
And that one is,
Can I pick the moment
To gain your attention from
The distractions of class?
Show my class,
And prove to you that
I'm the one.
