Moments

A Memory from High School

There was this moment

Walking down the hall

He was

Cute

Smart

Kind

A trifecta in high school

I was

Awkward

Geeky

Uncool

A trifecta in high school

There in the hallway

Walking toward me

He smiled

His face lit up

I could see it

In his eyes

My heart stopped

I held my breath

And he walked

Past me

To the girl

Behind me

 

I have waited

A lifetime

For someone

To look at me

That way

To light up

From the inside out

At the sight of me
