Tell

Love poem.

I would call you
After my baseball games
On the pay phone
Outside the gym
To tell you how I did-
To hear your voice
For whatever those things were worth
I couldn't tell then
And I can't tell now

I would let you
Copy off my vocabulary tests
In English class
And would stare at you
From across the room
Until the bell rang
For whatever those things were worth
I couldn't tell then
And I can't tell now

I would buy you
Oreo cookies at lunch
And write you letters
And poems telling you what
You meant to me
For whatever that was worth
I couldn't tell then
And I can't tell now
Maybe you could tell me
