Yes (to J.M. & E.B.)
by Melanie A BennettI've liked you for some time
Since we broke up in seventh grade
I didn't know how to tell you
I thought you'd be afraid.
I kind of had the feeling,
That you still liked me.
But I wasn't really sure,
So I had to wait and see.
Then I decided yesterday,
I couldn't wait any longer.
So when I saw your smile
I felt my heart go stronger.
I typed in my message,
And sent it out to you.
Then I moved away,
To see what you would do.
I sat staring at the printer,
Afraid I made a mess
Then I see the paper,
Your answer on it--YES!
