It now is time. <br />I'll have to tell the world. <br />And never did I ever <br />mean to do this. <br />Regardless of, <br />what peers today <br />require, <br />I will come out. <br /> <br />The girl I love is <br />no one you would know. <br />She is the sweetest, <br />loveliest of all. <br />She walks around <br />as if the world could <br />well ignore her. <br /> <br />I am afraid, <br />I tell you with <br />reluctance, <br />that someone bigger, <br />better, smarter comes along. <br />And takes her on his horse <br />to distant fields, <br />she would forget <br />her home, <br />and me the <br />fool from school. <br /> <br />What do you think? <br />She loves me and <br />I love her. <br />Would all this count enough <br />to seal <br />our pact forever?<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-fool-from-school/
