She was wild,
Without a care in the world.
She ran shoe-less
Through an amusement park.
Went on all the rides
That were beyond her thrill.
She caught him looking
Through the window of the food lane
Next door.
She watched him stride away
And join his group of friends.
She looked for him
Throughout the whole night.
Got temporary tattoos,
That her dad would despise.
She jumped to sad songs
That the group sang at the park.
She screamed until
Her voice became hoarse.
Bringing attention to herself.
If he only knew...
That the only attention she ever wanted,
Was a sliver of his precious time.
She rocked her heart out.
Hoping that for one second,
He would catch a glimpse of her.
And maybe fall for her, too.
She saw him at the gate,
When they were about to leave.
She realized that,
No matter how hard she tried.
He didn't see any of her craziness.
she wished he knew,
That her craziness was intended only for him.
