šThat one picture!

I didn’t intend for it to happen, but I wasn’t sorry!

The time at the swings with him was just enough to put me on clod 9!

Trying to get back the camera from him, I get close enough to almost do the one thing I want!

Talking to him, one on one, gives me that bubbly fun feeling that I can’t help to smile form!

He thinks I can’t smell the geress on his hands, but I can and I like it!

Honest to no end, but there with me, not saying either, or, but right beside me!

That shirt, that black shirt and the way it just does that thing he doesn’t even see!

Talking about drinking just to irritate me, but knowing how much I love the sound of each word coming from his month!

I see sunshine in all that he does, is it magic, or cupid, either way he’s got it!

While I didn’t know Miss Nancy planed that Photo of us; there was no hiding how I felt when she took it!

Walking back to art, “Your embarrassed!”, “Shut up!”, “Oh-look at your face!”, “Shut up!”, “look at Sherry Jo’s red face-your embarrassed!”, “Shut up Brian!”, “your embarrassed!”, “Brian!”

Pleading with him outside of the art room we go back and forth, “ your embarrassed”, “no I am not-it’s hot that’s all!”, “no your embarrassed-just look at you!”, “no!” “yes you are-your embarrassed!”

I can’t help it when my face turns red, as much as I would like to!

I act like I hate it when he picks on me about it, but I love every second of it!

Who knew an art project could lead to a photo like this!

Siting in math class, all that runs through my head is him!

Never have I had a smile this big, eyes going everywhere other than the book in front of me, a face this red, a feeling this strong!

Photo, that one photo and we were together!
