I'm Still Waiting

I sit
and I wait in silence
wondering what exactly
you are doing right now
what you are thinking of
who you're with

I wish I could call you
but alas,
I don't know your number

I would talk to you in the internet
but alas,
you are not signed on

I wish you would reply to the e-mails
I've sent
full of the questions I've asked you
why don't,
you reply?

I miss your face,
at karate
since baseball started

You are kind of like an idol for me at karate
I mean,
you are a black belt,
for crying out loud
who doesn't look up to someone who has
acheived such greatness,
such grace,
such power?

New York Mets,
he says,
is his favorite team
he's got the coolest hats to prove it

I'm still waiting
for you to show up online
so we can talk
or for you to just answer my e-mails
I only talk to you on the internet
because I am too scared to talk to you
face to face
because I'm afraid of acting stupid.
on the internet,
I don't have to worry about you seeing my face
get all red
with embarrassment

so when you get the chance
sign in online,
so we can chat,
I'm still waiting.
