It Only Takes One Letter
I can't believe it's happened
we're assigned both to this class
Cause I fell in love completely
in the hallway when you passed
Your hair, so bright and curly
you're lips so chase and pure
I hope my seat assignment
would be very close to yours
But the teacher had a system
which proved to my regret
Your last name fell too far
down that bloody alphabet
Out of thirty classroom chairs
I never thought you'd be
sitting in the one, that's
directly behind me
For a year, I smelled your perfume
I heard your lovely voice
But I never turned around
to afraid to make that choice
