A boy enters a classroom
A boy knows this room all too well
A boy doesn’t know what subject this class is for
A boy doesn’t even know the teachers name
A boy doesn’t attend this class
A boy knows that class doesn’t begin for half an hour
A boy knows that he is alone
A boy waits patiently
A boy sees a girl enter the classroom
A boy gets excited
A boy listens to a girl
A boy listens to her description of a perfect guy
A boy listens to her visions of the future
A boy doesn't hear him in her future
A boy imagines a future together
A boy knows that he is alone
A boy waits patiently
A boy watches her read
A boy listens to her problems
A boy wants to hold her
A boy wants to change her life
A boy wants to love
A boy knows he is alone
A boy waits patiently
A boy hears a cough
A boy begins to cry
A boy watches her die
A boy loved her
Without her he can never become a man
A boy
This lonely, lonely boy.
