Everyday I sit here, starring at him. Wishing for something to happen.

Everyday I wonder, what if he comes up to me? What do I do then?

Everyday I cry in my room, because I will never be good enough for him.

Everyday I look in the mirror, pointing out my flaws. Asking my self why.

But today, I said that I was special and beautiful.

Today I believed in myself, that today was something different.

Today, he said hi.
