The first day that we met,
I didn't know what to say.
So I looked away at a jet,
And you were on your way.
A friendly hello would have sufficed,
But I was very shy.
Once you get to know me,
Maybe you'll understand why.
I see you in the halls at school,
Once or twice a day.
Every time I see you though,
You're walking the opposite way.
I want to say hello,
Or at least shake your hand.
But every time I think of it,
An earthquake shakes my land.
And when I leave school,
To go home everyday,
I hope to see you walking,
Down my way.
When I get home,
All I can think about is you,
The way you smile, the way you laugh,
And your beauty too.
And when I go to bed at night,
When I start to dream.
I dream about you with your long hair,
Laying by a stream.
And when I wake up,
To start my next day,
All I can think about,
Is you walking down my way.
