Just Ask Him

He had a beautiful smile
I sat and observed it awhile

His eyes were blue
My heart just knew

He was interested in some blonde
they took walks after school to the pond

I wished to be the girl he adored
But with me I thought he'd grow bored

I said 'screw it' one day and just asked him out.
He gazed at me with hands he fumbeled about..

"Sure." He replied as I grew wide eyed.

From that day forth my confidence soared, I now had something to look toward.

I learned that to ask and be rejected may hurt
But to mill around and wonder is worse
