A Shimmer of Hope

Whenever I thought

Of you and me,

My heart would beat 

Ten times faster.

Whenever I thought

Of you and her, 

My heart would beat

Ten times slower.

I close my eyes

To hold back my tears.

It's hopeless to think

Of you with me.

You're a senior,

I'm a freshman. 

I'll never have a 

Chance with you.

Then you appear

Out of nowhere,

As I begin to think

It's impossible for us.

You give me a smile

And an all-knowing stare.

That glare of yours

Giving me that Shimmer of hope,

Once again.
