wishful sigh
lamented cry
A spotty youth on a school bench waiting for his bus
A Christmas wish written on his heart
A girlfriend
Not just anyone
But Kelsey with her smile so bright
You fool!
She will never look at you
She has the pick of sixth formers
She’s the bell of the formal night
Kelsey changes her seat on the bus
Slides in beside him
Offers to help him with his English revision
Sweat breaks out all over him
Has he spoken aloud?
Has she overheard?
Say something, you fool before she thinks you dumb
Won’t your boyfriend mind? He asks
Giving her a half smile
She laughs
He might punch you in the head
– a joke she quips
I’ll take my chance on that
I could do with your help…and your friendship. he smiled
A feeling washes over him
He’s ten feet tall
And clear skinned.
