• I wait for you, though you never know it.
    I spend everyday hoping to see you walk by.
    You don’t make me wait for long.
    Here you come, the girl in black.
    You turn your back to me again,
    And walk away.
    You don’t even know just how much I
    Have come to care for the girl you are.
    How can I make you see
    Just how much you mean to me.
    Even though we might never be
    I have to try, or else I’ll fail.
    Why do I often think of your long, black hair,
    Cascading down your shoulders like waterfalls.
    And why does your smile still light up my day.
    I almost stop in my tracks when you pass
    Though you’re too busy to notice me go by.
    I watch for you as others hurry through.
    They don’t notice me or you.
    Did you notice me?
    I’ll keep trying, like Edison before me.
    And I have a perfect plan.
    I’ll wait till you take a moment to leave,
    And when you come back to your seat,
    You’ll see it.
    You’ll see the small carnation I left resting.
    And you will know that someone has been here for you
    Watching with loving eyes.
    You’ll stand and beg them all to know
    Just who it is that loves you so.
    And maybe when I figure out how to tell you,
    I’ll let you know.
