Tomorrow

 Today I asked if I could borrow 
your pen
You asked
black or blue?
I wanted to tell you that I liked
your pencil case and your fleece
and how you did your hair
today
I wanted to tell you that I 
like everything 
about you
I wanted to ask if you like me

But instead I said
black
And went back to my desk

I tell myself
tomorrow I will tell you
tell you that I hope all 
your wishes come true
that I hope you are 
free
and happy

I wonder if you notice me

And the next day I tell myself
I will do it 
tomorrow
