using as sonnet exercise

He is so smart because he reads a book
I wonder if he will glance at me
that would be so lovely
I love his really cute look 1

he know that I am so mature
I am cool and calm with no fears
my thought are beyond my years
but he has so much character2

I am smart too, it takes one to know one
I can do more than any woman
meeting him is part of the plan
this is not a crush on someone3

If he will ask me on a date
I will be more than a classmate4

I have to do what I can9

so what if she is a classmate
I wish she did not like me
I will not ask her on a date
I will not say hello to her.
I'll let her know she not who I prefer10

    AS We look for tomorrow. There is no time to borrow. Life can be thrown and tossed making up for things you lost. 1 Even if I know life is hard. there is no time to discard.
