I’ll take what I can get

I run to your house too often,

Call you at dusk from the driveway,

Wishing away the seconds while we

Sit in silence on a flatbed

And listen to sheep and crickets in the dark.

You go through my phone and delete contacts,

Talk to me while I skip physics,

Pick me up for a drive just "because".

We have a prom date in a lambing barn that I look forward to far more than any dance.

Everyone knows how I feel for you.

I'm certain you must as well.

It's probably better that neither of us mention it.

I don't want to ruin the silence.
