Searching

            here is a guy, you all may know but no one really knows. He walks around with his head held high but inside he’s ready to go. He says hi to those who speak to him but ignores those who go on by. He transferred here a year ago but still no friends are had by he. He tried to fit in but all that did was chase them away and now for prom he needs a date. On that special night that they call prom where so many things can start.

            here is a girl who watches him, so closely in the halls. She wants to know him but is scared, cause she fears she’ll lose her heart to him, a guy she barely knows. She’s grown up here all her life and longs for adventure of a far more kind. She thinks he’s it but how will she know if she’s to speak her mind. She knows to well the word rejection she’s felt it one to many times. She had a guy but he dumped her for someone else’s lies. She’s insecure but can’t let on. She doesn’t want more pain.

            hey are both looking but are not finding the person who they thought. They want to know what love is about but too scared to find out. They need someone on who they can depend it doesn’t matter how. To talk to them is like talking to a wall. With them the only thing you’ll ever get is silence through and through. They both want someone, but neither is brave enough to say the other is who they are looking for.
