Last Chance, Last Hope

I sit and watch her type never wanting to get up she tells me that she likes me and my heart begins to pound i have liked her for so long yet never thought she cared for me my breath floats away as i begin to say the smooth line i knew would change they way that we both felt. and on the day which we should meet i watch the time roll by i know she's gotten cold feet and my eyes start to tear i walk to wear she used to sit and make eye contact in passing after awkward times and talking bright red, both me and her we make plans again, twice more i am forgotten i have the revelation in which my soul must rest i decide her hearts not in it but with no courage to say it instead of a magic kiss i write the ending words my heart starts to slow, my eyes start to tear i look one last time at her picture and walk away for good.
