To Ask You: How did I get here All of a sudden, it happened so fast Here I am in front of you about to ask… How did I get here…? When I first came to Queens College All you were, were a stranger with whom I had no knowledge You sat there unable to see the board You sat there no loader than a church mouse Despite all that I said ‘hello’ to you Despite all that I had to ask “who are you?’ Despite all that I wanted to know more Despite all that…You got away… After awhile you were nowhere to be found Not on Facebook Not on Snapchat I gave up the hunt, you were not to be found Then by chance I saw you, ‘holy shit what luck!’ I asked for your number, and now I knew that and your name too All this now that I’m here I throw you a line and catch air… I go to a new class and ‘holy shit there you are!’ In class together we were quite the act, everyone knew that fact Between sharing texts and Swedish fish with you, I finally got to know you As I learned more I got the catch quite quick this was a friendship I felt a Titanic in me sail off to sink Despite all that I still wanted to be your friend Despite all that we still chill Despite all that we still knew how to poke fun at each other Despite all that… I had much to learn as I would see After awhile you opened up to me Not about your day Not about your political views I saw you opened up about love to me We talked what seemed like forever, I heard you and you did the same for me You told me your past, and how that hurt you
I heard about your desires, somethings you just can’t share While I gave up awhile ago, now I ask did I give up too soon…?
Is it to late to ask? What if she says no? Do I care like that? What do I expect from this? How do I ask this…?
