Hey girl,

Sitting behind me,

How long were you with me?

Legs crossed,

Sitting so nicely,

But spreading those wings,

For all to see.

 

Hey girl,

There's something about you.

It's nudging me towards you.

Don't wait.

Show me a sign.

I'm a little too nervous,

And a little too shy.

 

I always wanted to turn around,

And know you.

I never wanted to ghost,

And fade away,

Like dreams of yesterday.

 

Hey girl,

Now that you're gone,

I'm still thinking about you.

These thoughts,

They're all that I have,

To add any value,

To what could be.

 

Hey girl,

You're walking my way.

How quickly I notice.

That face,

With a smile and wave,

An explosion of colors,

Meant just for me.

 

I always wanted to turn around,

And stop you.

I never wanted to ghost,

And fade away,

Like dreams of yesterday.

 

Hey girl,

This season's been rough,

I'm a little bit lost now.

My luck,

It's always been down,

But I think I've been saving,

It all for you.

 

Hey girl,

The tables have turned,

I'm sitting behind you.

These days,

I run through them all,

To get to the seconds,

When I'm with you.

 

I always wanted to say,

How much I like you.

I never wanted to wait,

And walk away,

With all these things to say.

 

Hey girl,

Now that you're here,

I've been writing about you.

These words,

They're the best I can sign,

With stories of us,

In every line.

 

Hey girl,

Is this a dream?

You're more than I hoped for.

My heart,

It beats out of time,

And I can never relax,

When you're in my mind.

 

I always wanted to say,

How much I love you.

I never wanted to wait,

And walk away,

With all these things to say.

 

My girl,

Here in my arms,

Sitting beside me.

I swear,

I knew all this time,

That one day you’d have me,

And you’d be mine.

 

I'm always going to say,

How much I love you.

I'm always going to turn around,

And tell you,

All the things, 

I was always scared to say.

Author's Note

It's been a while since I had something new. Not sure of what to call this one yet. It's the first piece I've written for a new book I'm working on.

The title was repeated often. "Hey girl".
I'm always going to say,
How much I love you.
"I'm always going to turn around,
And tell you,
All the things,

Good to free words to someone we love. If we are lucky. The love is returned. Thank you my friend for sharing the excellent poetry.

Awww.. This definitely brought back memories from college years.. those looks, the anticipation, the empty seat, those first dates- the world at our feet.
