How long


How long will you ignore me? How long will I wait? How long will I stay quiet?

I know he likes staring at shit, but can't even address it, (You can't speak to me?)

When I walk past he ignores me, so how long will I play this game? How many more days, 

weeks, months will I wait for you when we cant make eye contact, how long will I wait?

When I walk by it's silent or it's busy, so I just walk by as if I can keep quiet but when my 

lips decide to move, what will I say, ( Hows your day?) You act as if you didn't hear it, 

I look into your eyes and you look away, so how long should it take to look at me and see 

a dream you wish you had. I could feel the room get quiet, but your mouth is open; How long 

will I save myself for you? Not long boo, I could love you but, how long will you ignore me as if I'm

in the way.    HOW LONG WILL I WAIT!?      -How Long?
