Why She Missed the Bus
she waits for the bus
standing against the wall, books in hand,
mind in another world
he walks around the corner
she plummets back to earth
she tries not to stare
but all the memories flood back
in her heart there's a pressure she can't bare
he stops, and leans against the wall
opposite from her
he glances at her
she watches him in the corner of her eye
she dares to take a look
their eyes lock
neither can look away
emotions run rapid inside her
everything she's been holding back
holding inside
breaks loose
a tear run down her cheek
she drops her books to the floor
barely in control of anything anymore
one foot in front of the other
she walks to him
eyes still locked
he takes a step forward
they meet
the toes of their shoes touch
she still looks into his eyes
he can't bare to pull away
he wipes her tear away
and their lips meet
shes still crying
heat rises in them
"I missed you" she breathes in between kisses
"I love you" he whispers in her ear
"I know"
