A/N: So I haven't published anything in a while, and I've never published poetry on this site. This is just something I wrote while remembering elementary school at 12 a.m. last night. I couldn't sleep, and I knew I just needed to get it out of my head and onto paper...or FF. Thanks for reading :)

In school I remember

Waiting for art

Because

It was the only class in which

The teacher ever sat me next to you.

We whispered our secrets

Voices hushed and excited

And (pinkie) promised

Never to tell.

You always tried to guess my "crush"

Saying each boy's name twice

As I denied every

Single

One of them.

"Is it Chris?"

"No."

"James?"

"No."

"Alex?"

Half blushing

Half smiling

I shook my head again.

With a frustrated grin

And those pleading blue eyes

You begged me to tell you.

I laughed

But my lips were sealed.

I would never confess

It was you.
