Liz

I am shy

She is not

I couldn’t dance

She could

She taught me how to be confident

How to pretend you know how to dance

So I did

It worked

She has beautiful hair

Long, brown

I’ve always hated my hair

Long, brown

Now I don’t

I borrowed her book once

Her favorite book

First edition, signed by the author

I accidentally dropped in the gutter

When I told her, she didn’t get mad

She asked me if I liked the book

I did

It was a great book

She doesn’t have a boyfriend

She is the happiest person I know

I know someone will find her

Someday

I’m waiting for my someday, too

She doesn’t know I admire her

I’m too shy to tell her
