Bump, hmph, sorry
cough, sorry, excuse me
“Have I seen you before?”
“Do you have poli sci at noon?”
“No, I guess I haven’t”
shuffle, scuffle, scatter
Should have got her number
Should have asked his name
Could have lingered just a second longer
Maybe brushed her hand when I reached down
Batted my eyelashes at him in interest
Oh wait I have her history essay
Jane, what a pretty name
Where did I leave my essay?
psst, “Jane?”, “turn around”
“I found this”
“Thanks uhh ummm…”
“It’s Zach, are you free tomorrow?”
A nod, a giggle, a glance
“It’s funny where you end up when you’re not watching where you’re going.”

Life is too short to wait.
Don’t dare waste the day.
Do something before it’s too late.

What’s the use in fighting fate?
Why not just say what you want to say?
Life is too short to wait.

Maybe this is your soul mate.
Don’t let them get away.
Do something before it’s too late.

Your thoughts you need to state.
Your heart you must obey.
Life is too short to wait.

Who knows it could be great.
Go ahead, put your heart on display.
Do something before it’s too late.

No need to be so ornate.
It’s okay to be cliché.
Life is too short to wait.
Do something before it’s too late.

Butterflies and jitters are too cliche.
Just a sight and I get all worried.
These feelings seem to never go away.
My words with you become so hurried.
To hope for more may not be smart.
I let my guard down for the first time.
This is not for the faint of heart.
To leave me this way would be a crime.
As happy as I may seem to you,
Of course I can't help but smile,
I'd hate to admit I can only hear Dark Blue.
I've wanted this for such a long while.
I can only hope that you feel the same way
Until then I will continue to keep my feelings on display.

In an alternate universe you could be mine.
We would cuddle and hug until all our troubles were gone.
I would make you waffles for dinner and you would laugh because I’m so childish.
You would make me happy with your jokes and I would smile forever more.
Anytime reality tried to bring us down we would go see a funny movie and kiss the entire time.
In the rain I would worry about my hair but you would tell me you didn’t love me because of my hair and I would be perfectly fine walking hand in hand with you.
When we fought we would end up laughing from the absurd way we look imitating the other and agree to never fight again even though we know we would.
We would go through old journals and realize that the words we’ve been writing all these years were actually for each other.
You would make fun of the way I can’t see without my glasses and I would tickle your side until you couldn’t breath and then we would just lay there looking at the ceiling knowing that this is what people mean when they talk about forever.
We would be lovely and beautiful just as we are.

I honestly don't understand why people have to be so rude. A "friend" blatantly makes fun to make themselves look better and a boss turns her back after a minor slip up. Welp in the last three days I've lost respect for a mentor, a job and a minor. That's life and we must keep going because there's worse consequences if we stop. Just remember before you judge someone that they could possibly be going through something that you don't know about it. I may be smiling but I'm hurting on the inside.
