A Bad Russian Movie

A silly love poem, about real life

I take my feelings to school in a jar
The top is screwed on tight
My fingers drum on the glass
The sound is hollow, empty, captured

I walk into the building, wondering
Will he be there?
He is, alone, he glances up, sees me
Looks down quickly, opens that little book

I laugh, he is sometimes alone
Or with her, they don't date, I don't mind
This is high school, why should it?
She's not here today

He's still flipping through the poetry
He's trying to act cool
Or maybe seem, not all that alone
I am still looking down, half smile on my face

I wipe the laughter away
And look up at him, I smile a greeting
"Still reading that poetry I see,"
He nods, "Memorizing it,"

That's a lie, but I don't tell him that I saw
We talk, its too early in the morning
Sometimes his words go straight past me
He's determined not to lose that silly Russian accent

But I don't mind, why should I?
Whatever he wants, I really don't mind
I like the accent anyway, its what makes him, him
We talk, another comes over

I am almost relieved, I'm not good at talking
He walks over, she was there too
They sit down, we continue to stand
When did she leave? I don't remember

Russian movies, bad Russian movies
I'm laughing, they both saw the movie
Telling me scenes, the director had too large a budget
She left awhile ago, am I relieved?

Still talking, still laughing
The bell is high and piercing
We walk out together, still talking
About bad Russian movies

He walks through the main door, I use the side stairs
So we move apart, he doesn't say goodbye
But I don't mind, so I wave and nod
That saying, "Auf Weidersehen!"

If he did wave I didn't see
I kept walking and didn't look back
Smiling and singing on my way to class
These few minutes are the best part of my day

A morning, like a bad Russian movie

Author's Note

Its just a silly poem, but its real life.... But this really is the best part of my day, even if he doesn't know. X3 Do I sound like a stalker? Probably, but what love sick high schooler doesn't? Alrighty then, any feedback/criticism is greatly appreciated!
